Job Task Name |
Worked in smelter for years with heavy exposures to sulfur dioxide and metal fumes |
Comments |
Some of the airflow obstruction found in studies of smelter workers is thought to be due to occupational asthma. [Rosenstock, p. 323] Smelter workers with exposures to SO2 and metal fumes had increased airway obstruction compared to workers without exposure to these agents. [Asthma in the Workplace, p. 695] |
