Q: Can my multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) be reasonably accommodated under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
A: Yes, MCS may be reasonably accommodated. The challenge is that employers generally don't want to accommodate disabilities. It's not the ease of simple and reasonable accommodations that is the issue. It's the fact that employers just refuse to provide them and view people with MCS (and other disabilities) as a lawsuit risk and try to push them out of the company or school in favor of someone else who "won't be such a hassle".
