Reducing exposure to isocyanates is crucial to eliminate potential workplace-related health issues, especially in the automobile and building industries. They are commonly found in construction products including paints, building insulation, and other materials used in retail, commercial and industrial spaces. 

Isocyanates are a family of highly reactive, low molecular weight chemicals that are known to cause illnesses such as asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. In turn, those persistently exposed to these dangerous molecules are likely to experience cold-like symptoms. 

Although workers are encouraged to seek professional advice regarding these symptoms, organisations must conduct Isocyanate Exposure Testing to monitor the workplace exposure limits set by authorities regarding isocyanate groups.
