"Despite a 25-year effort by the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) to make childrens' toys less toxic and less hazardous, there's still plenty of potential "Trouble in Toyland" waiting for shoppers on local department store shelves."
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
