Acylates continue to cause asthma in a wide range of workers from school teachers to limb makers

 Acylates continue to cause asthma in a wide range of workers from school teachers to limb makers
This review of cases from the Shield database reported 20 cases of occupational asthma due to acrylates, 1% of total notifications 1989-2014. A tackifier used to stick carpet tiles down in a new school caused cases in teachers and an artificial limb maker was sensitised while making the prostheses. Other more usual cases occurred in orthopaedic theatre staff from beme cement, nail technicians and plastic moulders. One dentist was sensitised to tooth-filling acrylates.
