| Abstract |
Case report of a chemical worker who developed asthma after exposure to a heavy atmospheric concentration of amprolium hydrochloride, a constituent of a poultry-food additive. Experimental exposure produced an immediate asthmatic reaction, inhibited by sodium cromoglycate. When the finished product is added to poultry feed in the maximum recommended concentration, the resultant amprolium concentration in the feed is about 200ppm, sufficient to cause further cases of hypersensitivity in people handling it. |
