The Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Manchester has developed an Occupational Asthma Hazard Resource programme.  Details on the programme, and also the publication list, can be seen here: http://www.coeh.man.ac.uk/asthma/login.php

The COEH site further below [see 'Read more about this news item'] also contains links to pdf versions of key publications on this topic.

COEH's most recent paper describes the second version of the asthma hazard prediction model, and suggests that QSAR refinement by iteration has resulted in an improved model for the prediction of chemical asthma hazard.  The reference to this is: Jarvis J, Seed MJ, Stocks SJ, Agius RM. A refined QSAR model for prediction of chemical asthma hazard. Occupational Medicine 2015;65:659-66.
