My chemical romance: Are dangerous toxins lurking in your everyday products?
http://redeye.chicagotribune.com/red-031108-chemical-main,0,2244086.story
The health-conscious among us take care to avoid notorious risks such as mercury-laden fish, lead paint and cigarette smoke—all of which contain chemicals proven to do a body bad.
But do you ever think twice about the lotion you smear on your face, the can of soda you gulp down or the furniture you nap on? Countless products we use every day are chock full of chemicals, and research suggests they might hurt us more than we realize.
The mission of MCS America (MCSA) is to propagate medical, legal, and social recognition for multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) as a disorder of organic biological origin induced by toxic environmental insults; to provide support and referral services to the individuals with all illnesses of environmental origin; and to ensure that environmental toxicants are identified, reduced, regulated, and enforced through lobbying for effective legislation. © MCS America
