AMDAHL, Chief Justice.
The employer seeks review of a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals awarding the employee $16,879 in permanent partial disability benefits for a 20 percent impairment of his lungs due to work-related silicosis, as well as necessary and reasonable medical expenses. Because the employee’s last exposure to silica dust and other irritants occurred in 1965, we reverse on the ground that the claim was barred by the statute of repose provisions of Minn.Stat. § 176.66, subd. 3 (1971).
