Occupational asthma and sensitivity to chemicals

In 1997, the Society of Radiographers carried out a survey on occupational asthma occurring from exposure to fumes to X-ray processing chemicals which showed that, although the situation in trusts with regard to health and safety is improving compared to a previous survey, it still leaves much to be desired.

This publication is designed to update representatives and members on the current situation regarding exposure to processing chemicals and to provide a comprehensive guide to how occupational asthma can be prevented.
