Cashiers sought for health study
http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/08/01/1382388/cashiers-sought-for-health-study.html
"Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences are recruiting cashiers willing to have blood and urine samples taken to be tested for a potentially toxic chemical - bisphenol A, or BPA for short - that is used to manufacture the slick receipt paper many cashiers handle on a daily basis."
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
