  • Title: Occupational asthma from fungicides fluazinam and chlorothalonil.
    Author: Draper A, Cullinan P, Campbell C, Jones M, Newman Taylor A.
    Journal: Occup Environ Med; 2003 Jan; 60(1):76-7. PubMed ID: 12499462.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of occupational asthma caused by sensitisation to powdered fungicides fluazinam and chlorothalonil, from the same fungicide formulation plant. Both developed work related lower respiratory symptoms after a latent interval of asymptomatic exposure. The diagnosis in each case was confirmed with a serial peak flow record in the workplace followed by specific inhalation tests. These fungicides are known to cause dermatitis; this report indicates that these compounds can induce specific immunological reactions in the airways as well as skin.
