| Abstract |
The respiratory pathology of organic isocyanates is the subject of 2 information notes on respiratory allergy studies. The first note covers the chemistry of isocyanates and their physiopathological implications (abstracted under the reference CIS 92-1305). This second note deals with medical aspects associated with occupational activity: prevalence among exposed workers (asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, asthma-alveolitis), diagnosis at work, confirmation by specialists, development, medical and technical prevention, compensation. |
