Context: About 1.3 billion urban residents are exposed to air pollution worldwide. Air quality in the developing countries has deteriorated because of rising industrial activity. The prevalence of occupational allergies is thought to be in direct proportion to the rate with which allergy occurs in general population. In view of the changing environment and life styles in the developing countries, their communities are expected to be faced with similar negative epidemiological effects concerning allergies. To counter the spreading of negative health effects, the surveillance of work related occupational respiratory disease (SWORD) system implemented in UK. This system ensures effective co-operation between specialists in preventive medicine, occupational hygiene services and research workers dealing with occupational health that enables prompt response to emerging hazards.
