For people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), this is often our reality:

We're told the illness isn’t real — it's just in our heads — and the law refuses to protect us.

In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Professor Doron Dorfman, a disability law scholar at Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, New Jersey, in the U.S., explores how:

• People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) face discrimination because courts often dismiss fragrance-free policies as unreasonable.
• No-smoking rules and peanut-free zones could serve as examples for fragrance-free policies.
• Fragrance-free policies are truly not an administrative burden, as some argue.
• And more!

I'd love your help. I’m running a short listener survey to understand how The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast can best serve people with MCS.

It’s short, will help guide our next steps, and allow us to grow the podcast and create greater awareness about MCS.

It's called “RVs, Formaldehyde, & Toxic Exposures.”

I’m speaking with environmental anthropologist, Nicholas Shapiro, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of California in Los Angeles.

You’ll hear Nicholas explore how after Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, tens of thousands of people were exposed to dangerous levels of formaldehyde in government-supplied RVs. Many developed chronic illnesses and symptoms that could fall under the umbrella of MCS.

The latest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!

It's called “Fragrance & Indoor Air Quality.”

I’m speaking with Jeffrey Siegel, Ph.D., Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto. He is an expert in healthy and sustainable buildings, ventilation, and indoor air quality. A lot of people with MCS contact him, and he has compassion for folks with the illness.

You’ll hear Professor Siegel explore:

· The impacts of indoor pollutants, including from personal care, consumer products, and fragrance.

· Toxins and cognitive function.

· The effectiveness of masking and air filtration.

· The hazards of essential oil (finally, I found someone with deep insights about this!)

· How we might improve indoor air quality.

Thank you for listening! Please share your feedback. We love hearing from you.
