Resumen Clinical, functional and allergological studies in 70 patients from various branches of polyurethane production and processing are reported. All were exposed to isocyanates, mainly tolylene diisocyanate, and were suffering from respiratory tract symptoms. The toxic and irritating properties of the isocyanates played the major role, and there was no evidence of an allergic process. In the German Democratic Republic, recognition of this condition as an occupational disease is possible by way of a special decision.
