A possible variant of occupational asthma is induced by acute exposure to high concentrations of nonsensitizing respiratory irritants. This entity is referred to as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome. A case is presented in which the patient developed this syndrome secondary to exposure to a floor sealant. A portable peak expiratory flow meter was used to assess and document work-related airway reactivity changes.
