Capable of causing or producing asthma or asthma-like symptoms.
From asthma (Greek 'difficult breathing') plus -genic (Greek 'producing' or 'causing'). This term emerged in medical science to describe substances or conditions that trigger asthma.
Scientists discovered that certain workplace dusts, allergens, and even air pollution are 'asthmogenic'—meaning they don't just make asthma worse, they can actually create it in people who didn't have it before.
