Zusammenfassung:Exposure to a variety of chemicals is known to have adverse consequences, occupational asthma being one of them. Isocyanate exposure has been found to be associated with airways obstructive abnormalities, but Indian data in this context are scarce.

We hereby present two cases of occupational asthma related to exposure of acrylic polyurethane, KMnO 4 , and sodium hypochlorite.
