Clin Allergy. 1985 May;15(3):261-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2222.1985.tb02283.x.

Abstract

Azobisformamide is a low molecular weight agent used in the plastic industry as a foaming product. Two subjects with a history of work-related asthma in association with exposure to azobisformamide underwent specific inhalation tests. One subject developed an isolated late asthmatic response, whereas in the other a dual reaction was observed.
