The question of whether nonallergic airway hyperresponsiveness is an acquired or an inherent phenomenon is important in the understanding of occupational lung disease, as it has implications for the management and prevention of occupational disease. This chapter reviews the evidence suggesting that airway hyperresponsiveness may be acquired as a result of exposure to irritants in the workplace.
非过敏性气道高反应性是一种后天获得的现象还是一种内在现象，这一问题对于理解职业性肺病很重要，因为它对职业病的管理和预防具有影响。本章回顾了相关证据，这些证据表明气道高反应性可能是由于 workplace 接触刺激性物质而获得的。 （注：原文中“workplace”翻译为“工作场所”更合适，但按要求未添加解释）
