Summary Three patients with asthma due to the fumes of aluminium soldering flux containing amino‐ethyl ethanolamine were tested by occupational type exposures to the fumes of the flux and the amino‐ethyl ethanoiamine. Typical late asthmatic reactions not inhibited by disodium cromoglycate were produced, one patient also giving an immediate asthmatic reaction which was inhibited by disodium cromoglycate.
