|
-Ammonia
-Bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide -Chlorine -Diacetyl -Hydrogen bromide -Hydrogen chloride -Hydrogen fluoride -Hydrogen sulfide -Methyl isocyanate -Nitrogen dioxide -Ozone -Phosgene -Sulfur dioxide -Thionyl chloride |
Bronchiolitis obliterans characteristically presents with the insidious onset of a nonproductive cough and dyspnea 2 to 8 weeks after an acute respiratory illness or toxic exposure.
-cough -dyspnea, exertional -hyperinflation -obstructive defect -obstructive/restrictive defect -wheezing |
|
|
Byssinosis
|
Cotton dust, raw (Repeatedly prepare, card, or spin natural vegetable fibers)
|
Chest tightness and shortness of breath that occur after returning to work on Monday mornings; the airway obstruction may become more persistent after years of exposure and eventually cause disability.
-chest tightness -cough -dyspnea, acute -dyspnea, exertional -obstructive defect -wheezing |

Chronic bronchitis is defined by symptoms of a productive cough 3 months out of the year for at least 2 consecutive years.

Rhinitis, occupational
|
Exposures often linked to occupational rhinitis are swine confinement; livestock breeding; feed handling; cotton, flax, and hemp processing; wool processing; rice field harvesting; tobacco leaf processing; hairdressing; furniture manufacturing; compost and waste handling; greenhouses; pulp and paper mills; and inhalation of wood dust, silicate dust, metal salts, pollen, gases (nitric oxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine), insects, fungi, insecticides, flour, isocyanates, methacrylates, diacrylate, vegetables (soybeans, garlic), mites, coffee beans, proteases, latex gloves, xerographic toner, and milk protein
|
Like occupational asthma, occupational rhinitis may be either induced or exacerbated by workplace respiratory irritants and sensitizers.

Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) - irritant-induced asthma
|
Substances reported to cause irritant-induced asthma include HCl, calcium oxide, chlorine, acetic acid, sulfur dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, hydrazine, floor sealant, metal coating remover, spray paint containing ammonia, smoke inhalation, and diisocyanates.
|
RADS criteria are: 1) no history of asthma or other chronic lung disease; 2) follows high-level exposure to pulmonary irritant with symptoms usually developing within 24 hours of exposure; 3) symptoms persist for at least 12 weeks; and 4) objective evidence of asthma including at least 12% improvement of FEV1 after bronchodilator or positive methacholine challenge test.
