BOISE IDAHO MOM CALLS COMMUNITY INTO ACTION
Multiple Chemical Sensitive Families Need Aid
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a medical condition characterized by debilitating chemical sensitivities. MCS is a serious and growing health problem that affects people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds. The symptoms experienced by people with MCS range from mild to life-threatening.
What causes MCS? Just one-third of the 267 chemicals on the EU's watch list have ever been tested by the EPA, and only two are regulated under federal law. Meanwhile, researchers at University of California Berkeley estimate that 42 billion pounds of chemicals enter American commerce daily, and only a fraction of them have ever undergone risk assessments.
Physicians diagnose MCS by taking a history, performing a physical examination, and determining whether a persons symptoms come and go in response to chemical exposure.
A Community Volunteer Effort is being started by Mary Argenbright to set up a distribution center. "My intentions are to motivate others to do likewise in their community. At present, there is no practical assistance in America for families with MCS."
