  This Bulletin includes a summary of cases of work-related asthma (WRA) identified in Massachusetts from 2003-2013. Although the number of cases identified by the surveillance system is likely only a small fraction of the total number of persons with WRA in the state, the data provide important information about the industries and occupations where workers are at risk and about workplace exposures that need to be addressed.
