“…18,20,23,26,27 Some evidence exists which suggests that the onset of sensitization occurs after a mean exposure interval of 2 years. 28 After sensitization, any exposure, even to levels below any occupational exposure limit or standard, can produce an asthmatic response which may be life threatening. This asthmatic reaction may occur minutes after exposure (immediate), several hours after exposure (late), or a combination of both immediate and late components after exposure (dual).…”
