It is a pleasure in giving this lecture to give public recognition to the O’Hea family for their unwavering commitment to occupational health research.

I have chosen to focus on asthma and work, not only because this has been a major research interest of mine for more than two decades but, of more importance, because asthma is the most prevalent cause in the UK, and probably in the Western World, of respiratory ill health during working life. Now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the bronchial airways, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
