Agricultural asthma

Farmers and farm workers are exposed to a wide variety of allergens that can cause asthma, or aggravate existing asthma. Other factors such as genetics and environmental tobacco smoke also play a role in one’s risk of getting asthma. Read more about agricultural asthma in a new brochure published by OHCOW.
