Are There Specific Industrial Processes that Pose a Higher Risk?
Yes, certain industrial processes are more likely to involve allergens. For instance, the use of enzyme catalysts in biotechnology and the food industry can pose risks. Workers exposed to these enzymes, such as those used in detergents, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, may develop allergic reactions. Similarly, chemical manufacturing processes that use metal catalysts may pose risks, especially if proper safety measures are not in place.
