There are certain occupations which leave workers at a greater risk of being exposed to particular substances (respiratory sensitizers). The list below details some of the main respiratory sensitizers and the occupations in which you may come across them. The most common causes of occupational asthma in the UK are chemicals called isocyanates.
Exposure to these types of chemicals can occur through a number of jobs, in particular those involving foam moulding with adhesives, spray painting and making foundry cores and surface coatings.
Dust from flour and grain can bring on symptoms of asthma. People working in bakeries, those in industrial baking, grain transport and farm work could be affected.
People working in the joinery, carpentry and sawmilling industries could be affected by wood dust, in particular from hard wood dusts and western red cedar. Colophony – present in soldering fumes, glues and a number of floor cleaners – could affect people working in the electronics and welding industries.
Dust from latex rubber could affect those working with latex gloves, particularly nurses, dentists and laboratory technicians. Dust from insects and animals could also affect those carrying out laboratory work, farm work or work with shellfish.
