  What is occupational asthma?  

Q) When i visited my family doctor he said i have an ocupational asthma. May i know what it is.

A) Occupational asthma is a lung disease in which the airways over react to dusts, vapors, chemicals or gases that exist in the workplace. It is usually reversible but permanent lung damage can occur if exposure to the substance continues for a long period.
