A comprehensive list of asthmagens to inform health interventions in the Australian workplace.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first comprehensive and inclusive list of Australian occupationally relevant asthmagens to have been compiled. IMPLICATIONS: This list is specific for Australian workplace exposure to asthmagens. It will help focus policy and preventative practices and reduce the burden of occupational asthma. It will also be useful in future studies to identify those who are exposed to the asthmagens and provide information to assist regulators to identify industries, occupations, specific activities and existing exposure standards that can be targeted to improve worker health and welfare.
