The report is based on a single case and the fact that the symptoms arose after work with Ni nano-particle began; she had previously worked with non-nano Ni. For a particular incident, I'm not sure how you would determine whether the nano aspect exacerbated the situation. It's more of a suggestive data point report than a conclusive study...
