The spray application was performed in a wood workshop for the production of hardwood furniture with a volume of ca. 2.600 m3 (h x l x w = 4 x 32.5 x 20 m) without mechanical ventilation (Additional file 1: Figure S1). There was an open air (space) connection near the roof of 0.1 m over a distance of about 20 m in a brick wall between the wood workshop and the mail sorting and distribution centre (see Additional file 1: Figure S1). A high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) thorax (Fig. 1) indicated extensive bilateral areas of ground-glass opacities and predominantly in the lower regions of the upper lobes, the right middle lobe and the apical regions of the lower lobes.
