Abstract
The production of asthma by toluene di-isocyanate, aspirated into the ventilating system and emanating from the exhausts of a neighboring factory, was established in 3 otherwise non-exposed clerical workers. Occupational-type exposure tests with a polyurethane varnish/toluene di-isocyanate mixture elicited vigorous and prolonged non-immediate asthmatic reactions, thus enabling identification of the otherwise, obscure etiological cause of their asthma. The probability of an allergic etiology is discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
