Occupational Asthma: Current perspectives Contents: A basis for primary prevention Health surveillance and secondary prevention Case management and tertiary prevention Case Studies Research on occupational asthma hazards: Predictive programme Asthma links Definition, and Frequency "Occupational asthma is a disease characterised by variable air flow limitation and/or airway hyper-responsiveness due to causes and conditions attributable to a particular occupational environment and not to stimuli encountered outside the workplace" (Bernstein et al 1993). Within this definition two types of occupational asthma can be distinguished: In the first instance, there is agreement, that the syndrome of chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, dry cough etc, which appears after a latent period of occupational exposure constitutes occupational asthma. The second category of occupational asthma is that developing without a period of latency and often associated with exposure to high concentrations of irritants. Its symptoms may be somewhat different from that of asthma that follows a latent period. This is often referred to as Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome ( RADS It should be borne in mind that the airways that are afflicted by asthma are a continuation of the airways starting in the nose. It is therefore not surprising that many asthma cases also have rhinitis, (often preceding the asthma). Rhinitis literally means inflammation of the nose. Its symptoms are commonly those which the lay person associates with "hay fever" - an itchy, blocked or runny nose, often red and accompanied by sneezes. There may also be eye symptoms (itchy, glazed or runny). Thus

Your respiratory system is made up of your nose and mouth, your windpipe (also called your trachea, pronounced tray-key-uh) , your lungs, and a bunch of air tubes (or airways) that connect your nose and mouth with your lungs (these tubes are called bronchi and bronchioles, prounounced bron-kye and bron-key-oles) People who have asthma sometimes have trouble breathing. When people who have asthma have this trouble breathing, we call it an asthma attack. Lots of people have asthma attacks, even the two girls just below.

128. IAQ Fact Sheet: Asthma asthma is the leading chronic illness of children in the United States Health care costs associated with asthma are estimated at $14.5 billion a year. http://www.nsc.org/ehc/indoor/asthma.htm

Asthma What Is Asthma? According to the American Lung Association, asthma is the seventh-ranked chronic health condition in the United States and the leading chronic illness of children. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that makes airways (bronchial tubes) particularly sensitive to irritants. During an asthma episode, tightening of the smooth muscles around the bronchial tubes causes them to become inflamed, narrow inside, and produce excess mucus. This makes it difficult for air to pass in and out of the lungs and decreases the oxygen levels in the blood. A person suffering from an asthma attack has a sensation similar to drowning. What Makes Someone Develop Asthma? Some people are born with a predisposition toward developing asthma. However, what actually triggers the disease can vary from person to person. Common triggers include environmental tobacco smoke, air pollution, pollen, allergens from animals and insects, abrupt weather changes, biological contaminants such as mold, and viral infections. Studies show that children whose parents smoke are twice as likely to develop asthma as children of nonsmoking parents. Also, children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy tend to be born with smaller airways, which greatly increases their chances of developing the disease.

Feline Allergies Feline Asthma If your cat is itching FELINE ASTHMA Humans aren't the only species that can suffer from asthma and allergies. If your cat is coughing, is wheezing, has shortness of breath, or seems to be constantly coughing up a nonexistent hairball, she could be suffering from feline asthma. The problem is more common than many cat owners know. Some owners may dismiss important telltale signs and assume their pet is trying to expel a hairball during a coughing episode. However, cats can get the same airway spasms that lead to acute constriction of breathing as human sufferers. Severely affected cats may even display extreme respiratory distress. Symptoms Vary An allergen or stress can trigger feline allergy symptoms, which may accompany or precede vomiting, sneezing, sniffling, or even wheezing like a human allergy sufferer. Symptoms can vary from cat to cat. "Cats can have several different signs, and the signs can be anything from coughing and wheezing with no other problems to severe respiratory distress or difficulty breathing, requiring oxygen therapy," explains Dr. Liz Rozanski, an assistant professor of emergency and critical care at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. "And symptoms can be anywhere in between. My own cat had one bout one summer and has never had another problem. That's not at all unheard of, but some other cats continue to have severe episodes, and it's not always easy to tell which group the cat is going to fit into."

Asthma kills an estimated 5000 people a year in the United States and as many as 470,000 seek hospital treatment for asthma symptoms. Despite its prevalence, experts differ in the definition of the disease. Clinical authorities typically favor a broad, comprehensive definition. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute , for example, defines asthma as: "a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways (which) causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning usually associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction that is often reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment."

Energetic kids talk excitedly in the school's hall outside their classrooms. A few of them, dressed in uniforms of dark green pants and plaid jumpers, run up and down the hallway, drawing the warning. It's hard to tell on this December day, but at least one out of 6 of these kids has asthma. They live in the "worst of the worst" part of the District of Columbia when it comes to asthma. A community survey done over the summer found the River Terrace neighborhood, in Northeast D.C., has the high asthma rate in a city with the highest asthma rate in the country.
