| Resumen |
This review article summarizes the epidemiological, environmental, psychosocial and medico-legal aspects of occupational asthma. Based on surveys of the general population, 15% of asthma patients declare stronger symptoms at the place of work. Some suffer from occupational asthma (OA), namely a type of asthma caused by agents that are present at the place of work. Studies on prevalence among workers exposed to environments known to be risky show that approximately 2% of workers exposed to protein derivatives suffer from OA, a level that reaches 5% for workers exposed to chemicals. Frequencies are the highest among painters exposed to diisocyanates and bakery product workers exposed to flour dust and enzymes. Risk factors include exposure intensity, and to a lesser degree, individual factors such as atopy. |
