Int Arch Occup Environ Health 82(6):771-7 (2009) PMID 19048274

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of persulphate on the nasal mucosa and on the immune cells in hairdressers suffering from bleaching powder associated rhinitis (BAR) versus subjects with rhinitis not previously exposed to bleaching powder.

    A total of 10% of the occupational ICs (n = 123) were positive, suggesting OR, and 13% (n = 161) showed asthmatic reaction in the same challenge. In control challenges 2% showed rhinitis and 6% showed asthma symptoms. The most common agents tested were molds (160 tests), flours, and animal fodders (...

    We investigated the effects of multiple challenges, using toluene diisocyanate (TDI), a known cause of occupational asthma. On days 1 and 7, BALB/c mice received TDI or vehicle (acetone/olive oil). On days 10, 13 and 16 the mice received an intranasal instillation of TDI. Ventilatory function (Penh)...
