Occupational voice disorders due to workplace exposure to irritants—a review of the literature

N. R. Williams

Health & Safety Executive, Birmingham B4 7NP, UK

Abstract

The medical literature contains relatively few examples of reports of voice disorders that could be attributed to chemical exposure at work. General medical conditions such as gastro-oesophageal reflux and the use of medication such as inhaled steroids are well-recognized causes of laryngitis, but the occupational causes are less well documented. This paper describes the results of a literature review looking at the reporting of cases of occupationally acquired voice disorders due to exposure to irritants in the workplace.

Keywords      Aphonia; dysphonia; irritants; occupational voice disorder
