In the U.S. alone, more than 25 million people are known to have asthma. Research has increased our understanding of the agents that may be causing an increase in asthma case. Some of these causes may be found at work. Everything from cleaning chemicals to dust from industrial processes. According to Dr. Mazurek, a lead research epidemiologist at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, there’s over 350 known agents that are associated with developing asthma or causing work-related asthma. Work-related asthma includes both what’s called occupational asthma – where the disease is caused by factors at work – and work- exacerbated asthma, in which a person’s asthma is worsened by factors related to work. Both of which increase sick days.
