                             malignant neoplasm of the lung - see subsection 7(2).
                             metal or metalloid from the specified list means:
(a)          arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds;
(b)          beryllium and beryllium compounds;
(c)          cadmium and cadmium compounds;
(d)          hexavalent chromium (chromium VI) compounds;
(e)          mixtures that include nickel metal and nickel compounds; or
Note: Examples of industrial processes or workplace practices where exposure to trivalent antimony and antimony compounds can occur include the smelting or refining of metals, production of antimony compounds, manufacture of glass, textiles, and batteries, electronic processing and electrical waste processing, the incineration of waste, fuel combustion, and shooting activities (present in ammunition).
                             mist means a liquid aerosol formed by condensation of a vapour or by atomisation of a liquid.

                             one pack-year means the amount of tobacco consumed in smoking 20 cigarettes per day for a period of 1 year, or an equivalent amount of tobacco products.
Note 1: An equivalent amount of tobacco products is 7,300 grams of smoking tobacco by weight, either in cigarettes, pipe tobacco or cigars, or a combination of same. For pipe tobacco, cigars or combinations of multiple tobacco types, 1 gram of tobacco is considered to be equal to one cigarette.
Note 2: Pack-years are calculated by dividing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 20 and multiplying this number by the number of years the person has smoked. For example, smoking 10 cigarettes per day for 10 years is equal to 5 pack-years, and smoking 40 cigarettes per day for 10 years is equal to 20 pack-years.

                             polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons with three or more condensed aromatic rings in which certain carbon atoms are common to two or three rings. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons occur in crude oil, shale oil and coal tars, and can be formed during the combustion of organic material or during high temperature processing of crude oil, coal, coke or other industrial carbon compounds.
                             pulmonary disease means:
(a)          bacterial pneumonia;
