"Martin L. Pall, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University has uncovered an independent research group which has confirmed three clinical markers in people with multiple chemical sensitivity.

The Environmental Protection Agency defines multiple chemical sensitivity as "a diagnostic label for people who suffer multi-system illnesses as a result of contact with, or proximity to, a variety of airborne agents and other substances."

The three confirmed markers for multiple chemical sensitivity are elevated inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and oxidative stress.

This finding may provide future objective clinical diagnostic markers for MCS."
