• Description:
  The American Thoracic Society (ATS) in consensus documents from 2003 and 2011 reviewed the medical literature and estimated that 15% of asthma in adults was caused by work exposure, 21% of asthma was aggravated by work and work was a significant contributor in the cause of 15% of COPD. A consensus statement from ATS and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) published in 2019 updated the literature review and confirmed the previous ATS consensus statements about the occupational contribution to the cause of new onset asthma in adults and for COPD. In addition, the new ATS/ERS consensus document expanded the conditions reviewed to include chronic bronchitis (CB), idiopathic fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), sarcoidosis, tuberculosis (TB) in silica exposed workers (silica), and healthcare workers (HCW), and community acquired pneumonia (CAP). Figure 1 summarizes the occupational contribution for all these conditions. [Description provided by NIOSH]
