Will working in a meat packing plant make flareups worse?
Susie Gutier
Mar 8, 2019
It's possible. Research has shown working in meat packing plant is a risk factor to Asthma. In the past couple of years it has been reported that working in meat packing plant raises the risk of lung cancer by 30%. The department of labor called the meat packing plant "one of the most hazardous industries in the United States" in 1988.

ammonia is the trouble maker,the gas exists in the air of meat packing factory. cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with the production of cough, pulmonary edema, or respiratory arrest. Bronchitis or pneumonia may follow a severe exposure.
