British Thoracic Society Clinical Statement on Occupational Asthma
Published by: British Thoracic Society
Publication date: March 2022
Occupational Asthma accounts for around 1 in 6 cases of adult-onset asthma, and is most commonly caused by individuals developing an allergy to something in the workplace. Investigating Occupational Asthma is often complex, and, wherever possible, should be carried out in a specialist centre.
The Statement published in Thorax provides clinical practice points on both diagnosis and management of the disease, but also background information on workplace health surveillance and prognosis.
