immunosuppression, hypersensitivity, and autoimmunity in workers
exposed to chemicals. NIOSHA has undertaken a coordinated series of
studies to focus on immune system effects related to specific
chemical exposures in the workplace. It is anticipated that up to
six additional research studies will be conducted under this
program. Latex and solvents are chemicals being considered for
study.
