Abstract
In conclusion, occupational asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are likely to pay a substantial contribution to the total costs of the two disorders. These costs are expected to rise with the increasing prevalence of the diseases. Intervention strategies for effective control and prevention at the workplace should lessen the burden of long-term illness and impact on public health costs.
