Toxics: Hazardous chemicals pervade everyday products and Americans' bodies
http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20110320/LIVING09/110318017
"When six Vermonters agreed to be tested for the presence of industrial chemicals in their bodies, they weren't sure what to expect. The results proved eye-opening for environmentalists 40 chemicals tested for, on average, were found in each of the testees but especially surprising for the participants themselves."
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
