Occupational asthma due to a widely used soft solder flux not containing colophony.
A 19 year old woman presented with symptoms suggestive of occupational asthma. The causative agent was thought to be a soft solder flux, which did not contain colophony. The diagnosis was established by specific inhalation challenge tests, which demonstrated both late asthmatic reactions and short-lived increases in airway responsiveness.
متن کاملSpecific IgE to colophony?
BACKGROUND Colophony (rosin) is a natural product obtained from coniferous trees. It is used in a diverse range of products such as adhesives, ink, paints and soldering fluxes. Some workers exposed to colophony during soldering can develop occupational asthma; at present, no specific IgE test is available to assess sensitization to colophony. METHODS Serum samples were obtained from exposed s...

متن کاملOccupational asthma in a factory making flux-cored solder containing colophony.
The prevalence of work-related wheeze and breathlessness was measured in factory employees manufacturing flux-cored solder. The flux contained colophony which was heated in the production process, exposing the workers to colophony fumes. Measurement of colophony in the breathing zone defined three grades of exposure with median levels of 1.92 mg/m3 (six subjects), 0.02 mg/m3 (14 subjects), and ...
متن کاملIdentification of a possible biomarker for colophony exposure.
Colophony is known to cause occupational asthma and dermatitis. Biological monitoring may be useful in assessing exposure. This paper describes a method for the analysis of dehydroabietic acid in urine and its potential use as a marker of colophony exposure. The method involves hydrolysis, solvent extraction, derivatization and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twenty-eight work...
