Article Synopsis
- - Occupational asthma (OA) is categorized into allergic asthma and irritant-induced asthma, with the latter having three phenotypic subtypes.
- - This study examined exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from individuals with OA and healthy healthcare workers to identify potential biomarkers that differentiate OA from healthy controls and its subtypes.
- - 536 VOCs were found, with specific compounds like 1-hexadecanol and xylene showing significant levels and potential links to metabolic changes related to asthma, suggesting these VOCs could improve asthma diagnosis and indicate occupational exposure.
