<unk>  is due to the inhalation of certain<unk> s, either as fine dust or most commonly as<unk> s. Simple<unk>  compounds such as oxides are equally capable of causing it. The effects of particularly toxic compounds, such as nickel carbonyl, are not considered merely<unk> . Exposure usually arises through hot<unk> working processes, such as smelting and casting of zinc alloys, welding of galvanized<unk> s, brazing, or soldering. If the<unk>  concerned is particularly high-risk, the residue from cold sanding processes may also cause<unk>  fever, even if the dose is lower. It may also be caused by electroplated surfaces or<unk> -rich anti-corrosion paint, such as cadmium passivated steel or zinc chromate primer on aluminium aircraft parts. Exposure has also been reported in use of lead-free ammunition, by the harder steel core stripping<unk>  from the jacket of the bullet and barrel of the rifle. The most plausible<unk> olic source of the symptoms is a dose-dependent release of certain cytokines, an event which occurs by inhaling<unk>  oxide<unk> s that injure the lung cells. This is not an allergic reaction, though allergic reactions to<unk> <unk> s can occur.
