While the acronyms are similar, reactive airway disease (RAD) and reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) are not the same. [1]Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome was first identified by Stuart M. Brooks and colleagues in 1985 as an asthma-like syndrome developing after a single exposure to high levels of an irritating vapor, fume, or smoke.
Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is a severe form of irritant induced asthma where respiratory symptoms usually develop in the minutes or hours after a single accidental inhalation of a high concentration of irritant gas, aerosol, vapor, or smoke.
Stuart Merrill Brooks is an American pulmonary doctor who is credited [1] for discovering and researching Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS) [2] to describe an asthma-like syndrome developing after a single exposure to high levels of an irritating vapor, fume, or smoke. [3] It involves coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea. [4]

RADS (Reactive Airway Dysfunction Syndrome) may be caused by acute exposure to vinyl chloride. [ 28 ] Vinyl chloride is a mutagen having clastogenic effects which affect lymphocyte chromosomal structure.
