Perkins+will report details substances Linked to Asthma
known or suspected substances that are associated with asthma in his or her work environment alone. it is also critical to note that there are many factors that determine how an individual will react to an asthmagen. For example, two individuals who both suffer from asthma may have similar levels of sensitivity to cat dander, but very different levels of sensitivity to benzene. it is also particularly difficult to predict the impacts of individual substances when individuals are exposed to multiple substances at the same time. some substances in 10 or more products each we also developed a list of substances that were found in 10 or more products each. Of these, none were naturally occurring (except carmine, and formaldehyde in trace amounts). some of the most commonly found substances include ammonium persulphate, carmine, sulfuric acid, and zinc chloride. Carmine, for example, is found in paints, artificial flowers, rouge and other cosmetics, and certain brands of juice, most notably red varieties of juice. Other notable substances are commonly
found in nature including pollen, wood products, and buckwheat. After an examination of substances commonly found in products, it is necessary to continue with a discussion of occupations that are most impacted by substances with links to asthma. Many individuals have or will develop asthma as a consequence of coming into contact with asthmagens in their workplace. the occupations that are most heavily impacted include manufacturing, agriculture, adhesives and plastics industry, and healthcare workers. it is fair to say that with few exceptions, every adult comes into contact with at least some substances that are linked to asthma at their place of work. A 2006 study found that “occupational exposures, including irritants, are important causes of adult onset asthma.” As adult on-set asthma increases, scientists and health care professionals are understanding that the quality of the occupants work and home environments are increasingly linked to the increase of asthma cases.
