Presumptive diagnosis of occupational asthma was defined on both physiologic and clinical criteria as an observed decline in FEV1 of greater than 10% from the Monday pre-shift value compared to one or more subsequent tests during any of the following 3 days exposure period and a positive clinical history. Occupational asthma was diagnosed in 10 workers. A dose dependent relationship between total western red cedar dust level and prevalence of asthma was noted with employees in jobs with the greatest dust exposure.
