Abstract
The following occupational factors have an impact in the development of SSc: crystalline silica, white spirit, aromatic solvents, chlorinated solvents, trichlorethylene, ketones and welding fumes. The risk of SSc appears to be markedly associated with high cumulative exposure. Finally, the association between SSc and occupational exposure may be variable according to gender.
