INTRODUCTION The recognition and acceptance of occupational asthma (OA) as an important and distinct entity has depended upon clarification of the term ‘‘asthma’’ and upon means of establishing its occupational relationship. , a symptom rather than a clinical disorder. ) cited its presence in metal workers, fullers, tailors, horsemen, farmhands, and fishermen.

Thus far it has not been possible to develop a no-effect level standard, but further research in this area will certainly proceed. In his historical review, Dr. Jack Pepys emphasized the role of halides in conferring allergenicity to certain chemicals such as platinum salts and chlorhexidine. This concept has been extended to other reactive organic chemicals and their analogs. As a result there has been renewed interest in predictive animal models based on structure–activity relationships of haptenic allergenicity.
