• Description:
  Adult-onset asthma occurring as a direct result of occupational exposure (OA) is a common occurrence. Asthma caused by other factors (eg, seasonal allergic asthma) can be triggered by different occupational exposures and is known as work-related asthma (WRA). The number of occupational exposures that can adversely impact WRA is vast, varied, and sometimes initially vague. Identifying the specific occupational agents that affect WRA must be approached methodically with careful history, appropriate examination, and testing (laboratory, skin prick) as indicated to develop focused interventional strategies. Recognizing and mitigating asthma-exacerbating factors in the workplace requires cooperation and coordination among patient, allergist, and occupational representatives (eg, employers).
