Office workers constitute 5% of those with confirmed occupational asthma.

 Office workers constitute 5% of those with confirmed occupational asthma.
Office workers are often used as the control population for population studies of occupational asthma. This case series shows that 5% of all validated cases of occupational asthma from a tertiary referral centre were in office workers. Exposures were grouped into the internal office environment, office ventilation-related and adjacent environment. Common causes were from the air conditioning (9/47), printing, copying and laminating (7/47), cleaning chemicals (4/47), mould and damp (4/47), and acrylic flooring and adhesives (4/47) and 19 others.
