I have since been working in the oilfield and presently am a driller of natural gas wells, rig is diesel electric with very little exhaust to were i control the rig, my job is usually pretty free of irritants, although it can be stressful. I spent 1 week in the hospital 2 months ago, in the respitory unit on o2 thereapy , stearoids and antibiotics and at their suggestion have filed to reopen claim due to worsening condition, it was denied. Do you think these chronic problems can or may be from that exposure? it was high concentration mist from 98% sulfuric acid over 15 minutes in an enclosed space..as well as burns on face and hands from liquid. Any suggested references? I am filing an appeal and need references since they are saying it is due to my asthma and not the exposure, but i believe them to be connected. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is good evidence of allergy (latent interval, prior rhinitis, late reaction). The search for specific IgE was negative suggesting a non-IgE mediated mechanism rather than a non-allergic mechanism.www.occupationalasthma.comTue, 22 Jul 2008 10:56:14 GMThttp://www.occupationalasthma.com/occupational_asthma_viewreference.aspx?id=4389#commentsThis paper defines work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) as asthma with work-related symptoms and a negative specific challenge test. Occupational asthma (OA) was diagnosed when the challenge tests were positive, unrelated to the presence or absence of a latent interval or pre-existing asthma (including some with workplace challenge tests for both WEA and OA).There were 15 with work-exerbated asthma exposed to flour (1), latex (1), isocyanates (3), glutaraldhyde (1), triethanolamine (1) and 8 unidentified. 4 0f the 19 with occupational asthma had no identified agent. Medication was kept the same throught peak flow monitoring (2 weeks at work and 2 weeks away from work)but long acting beta agonists were stopped for specific and methacholine challenges. PEF variability was expressed as the diurnal PEF variation and calculated using thr highest amplitude percentage and the mean amplitude percentage for the work and off work days. A paired t-test was used to compare work against off work and a students t-test to compare WEA with OA. The number of days wehere diurnal variation was over 20% was also analysed as well as Oasys scores and a qualitative approach (visual analysis of PEF graphs by 5 experts). Results: Occupational asthmatics had a slightly longer duration of exposure, and both groups had increased symptoms at work. Both showed an increased diurnal variability of PEF at work compared with off work, but the OA's were slightly higher at work. A greater percentage of the occupational asthmatics showed >20% diurnal variation on more work days than the WEA's. 6 records from each group (OA and WEA) had Oasys scores >2.5. Agreement between expert vsual analysis was low (Cohen K 0.27-0.7). The discussion indicates that peak flows could not entirely differentiate between OA and WEA. The low number of Oasys positives could have been caused by the continuation of long acting beta agonists which were stopped for challenges (not written in the paper). The authors indicate that a stepwise approach to diagnosing OA is required and that although PEFs are an asset to confirming work-related problems, specific challenges are still the best method.www.occupationalasthma.comWed, 16 Jul 2008 15:35:40 GMThttp://www.occupationalasthma.com/forumviewquestion.aspx?id=823My question concerns acceptable levels of FEV1 decline year on year so I can incorporate it into my review of my respiratory surveillance programme. My research led me to the following conclusion:" The normal annual rate of decline in nonsmokers is 30 mls/year and is significant if greater than 90 mls/year even if the FVC and FEV1 are both greater than 80% of the expected value. The FEV1 decline over a year will not be picked up by the spirometer, making it all the more important for results to be compared with previous records wherever possible. If the FEV1 has reduced by more than 30 mls since the last spirometry then the case notes should be forwarded to an OHA/OHP for review as per company guidelines" Would you please advise if the level of acceptable FEV1 decline is is incorrect and I will amend the programme instructions www.occupationalasthma.comFri, 04 Jul 2008 10:36:34 GMThttp://www.occupationalasthma.com/forumviewquestion.aspx?id=820I was consulted recently by a ceiling carpenter who installed ceilings made of rhinoboard and a resin or hardener. He cut the ceilings with an angle grinder so lots of dust. Developed asthma while doing this (no prior asthma). Asthma worse at work. My question is: resins and hardeners are well established causes of asthma in their manufacture and during exposure while mixing. But what about exposure once the resin or hardener has dried i.e. exposure to the dust?

Whilst I carry out respiratory health surveillance I am interested to know is atopy likely to cause any pre disposition to sensitisation of the fish proteins? I would also welcome any information regarding the diagnosis of occuaptional asthma from fish proteins, I am particularly interested in the testing required and how the fish protein is determined as the cause of asthma as I understand specific IgE test does not always provide reliable results.
