Fragrance chemicals and the scent of suspicion
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10223/1079018-114.stm
"Just one word, listed on the label of numerous consumer products has sparked intense debate among environmental groups, scientists, legislators and industry.
That word is "fragrance" and -- when it appears in small print on a bottle of perfume or a container of laundry detergent -- represents the potentially hundreds of chemicals that give a product its characteristic scent."
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
