More evidence implicating cleaning sprays as a cause of asthma |
|
The common use of household cleaning sprays was positively associated with a high asthma symptom score, current asthma and poorly-controlled asthma in females in an epidemiological study of environment and genetics in asthma (EGEA). This further supports the growing evidence that occupational asthma in cleaners (and the cleaned) is a grwoing problem. The exact agents/mechanisms are largely unclear.
