Overview

This test detects IgE antibodies against diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), a chemical used in polyurethane manufacturing and foam production. Workers in these industries may develop occupational asthma or allergic sensitization to MDI. IgE antibodies indicate an allergic immune response. Elevated levels suggest isocyanate-induced occupational asthma risk, warranting workplace safety measures and potential job modification.
