Work-related asthma (WRA) is under-recognized and often undiagnosed, but a new report estimates that nearly a million adults in California have had work-related asthma. "Asthma in California: A Surveillance Report" tracks asthma data for the state of California, and includes a chapter on WRA. The updated chapter includes rates of WRA by industry and occupation, types of exposure, measures of the impact of WRA, and data on the characteristics of people with WRA, such as gender and age.
