Asthma due to inhaled chemical agents--amprolium hydrochloride. 1976

S A Greene, and S Freedman

A man with no previous history of allergy or chest disease developed asthma after exposure to a heavy atmospheric concentration of amprolium hydrochloride which is a constituent of a poultry-food additive. Subsequent experimental exposure produced an immediate asthmatic reaction which was inhibited by sodium cromoglycate.
