Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Pulmonology

Context:

  • Workplace exposure to volatile substances (dusts, gases, vapors, fumes) can trigger asthma.
  • Occupational asthma is characterized by variable airway obstruction linked to specific work environments.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of occupational asthma.
  • To discuss the causes, diagnosis, mechanisms, epidemiology, prognosis, and management of work-related asthma.

Summary:

  • Occupational asthma involves airway obstruction caused by workplace exposures.
  • The review details diagnostic approaches, asthmatic reaction patterns, underlying mechanisms, predisposing factors, and epidemiological data.
  • It also addresses the prognosis and outlines strategies for cure and prevention.
