Overview
Common risk factors in the development of scleroderma include occupational and environmental exposure to certain chemicals, certain genetic variations, and infectious agents. Most commonly implicated occupational and environmental risk factors are exposure to silica, chlorinated and aromatic solvents as well as welding fumes.
