Asthma due to inhaled chemical agents--fumes from 'Multicore' soldering flux and colophony resin

I W Fawcett et al. Clin Allergy. 1976 Nov.

Abstract

Four patients with occupational asthma associated with exposure to soldering flux or hot-melt glue containing pine resin (colophony) were subjected to occupational type inhalation challenge testing. All four gave immediate bronchial reactions to inhalation of the fumes, varying from one breath to 3 min of exposure. The clinical history and provocation test reactions suggest hypersensitivity to colophony fumes.
