REVIEWS

Occupational asthma

M Chan-Yeung and JL Malo

This article review recent developments in the study of occupational asthma and implications for the overall understanding of asthma. Occupational asthma is a clinical syndrome caused by many different agents. Contribution of studies of experimental inhalation challenge using occupational agents to the knowledge of asthmatic reactions and their mechanisms is discussed. Investigations in the occupational environment into predisposing factors and persistence or recovery after exposure to an allergic agent or nonspecific irritant are reviewed. Approaches to diagnosing asthma in the occupational environment and to assessing functional impairment and disability are outlined. Directions for future research are identified.
