Low Molecular Weight Agents

Super Categories

Known Synonyms

None

The agent causing occupational asthma is normally categorised into High or Low Molecular Weight. With single source agents such as chemicals this is a useful and easy process. In mixed agents (such as wood dust, metal working fluids and such like) this is much harder and the categories become blurred.

The "Sub Categories" section on the right hand side lists all the Low Molecular Weight Agents that we currently know about.


Oasys Notifications for Low Molecular Weight Agents

The Oasys Audit scheme started midway through 2010 and collects agents typed in through the Oasys program. The years before 2010 show old data entered during 2010 or later and are likely to have many fewer notifications. We expect Oasys to become more widely adopted as time goes by so increasing notifications does not necessarily mean an increasing problem.
