Definitions for "Occupational asthma"
Asthma that develops as a result of exposure to substances in the workplace.
Variable airflow limitation due to causes and conditions that are attributable to a particular occupational environment, and not to stimuli outside the workplace.
A respiratory disorder directly related to inhaling fumes, gases, dust or other potentially harmful substances while "on the job." With occupational asthma, symptoms of asthma may develop for the first time in a previously healthy worker, or pre-existing asthma may be aggravated by exposures within the work place.
