Abstract
A chemical plant operator developed asthma five months after starting work in an isothiazolinone manufacturing plant. He described symptoms of late asthmatic reactions after work with isothiazolinone. Airway responsiveness to methacholine improved tenfold when he was removed from the plant for 18 days. A workplace challenge study then resulted in a deterioration in airway responsiveness to its earlier level and in progressive falls in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) over three days at work compared with control days, indicating statistically significant late asthmatic reactions of increasing severity
