Asthma recognised as an occupational disease

An asthma crisis at the workplace may result in a recognition as occupational disease only if all criteria of a table of occupational disease are met. Asthma must be confirmed by spirometry and in case of repeated exposure to the occupational hazard other asthma crisis must occur. There are a lot of tables of asthma recognised as occupational disease.
