Work-related sensitization and respiratory symptoms in carpentry apprentices exposed to wood dust and diisocyanates
2010, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Petsonk et al16 studied employees of a wood products plant exposed to diisocyanates who reported asthmalike symptoms related to methylene diisocyanate exposure, although the possible summation effect of wood dust exposure was not analyzed. Specific sensitization caused by plicatic acid in western red cedar wood has been extensively studied,17,18 and serum IgE has also been analyzed in individuals exposed to different woods.19,20 However, no studies, to our knowledge, report specific sensitization in apprentices exposed to wood dust.
Mechanisms of occupational airways diseases induced by exposure to organic and inorganic chemicals
1990, American Journal of the Medical SciencesInterpreting screening questionnaires: Specific respiratory symptoms and their relationship to objective test results
2010, Journal of Occupational and Environmental MedicineCitation Excerpt :The findings are consistent with previous population-based studies that recognized an association between the presence of airway hyper-responsiveness to methacholine or histamine and self-reported or physician-diagnosed asthma or wheezing symptoms.5,10,22–24 Among individuals exposed to occupational sensitizers such as western red cedar dust or methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, the proportion of methacholine responders is increased in those who report asthma or asthma–like symptoms.25,26 In both occupational and community populations about half of individuals who demonstrate airway hyper-responsiveness do not report respiratory symptoms, although follow-up studies demonstrate that asymptomatic hyper-responsiveness increases the risk of subsequent symptom development. 27,28
