” We are a grassroots, volunteer organization concerned with environmental pollution
and health issues surrounding exposure to toxins. The scientific community and the
nuclear industry have undermined citizen’s confidence in their ability to understand
atomic power and its effects. CAN seeks to demystify these issues, with the goal of
enabling citizens to reclaim democratic control over their environment and develop
strategies for the prevention and elimination of pollution.”

- Lynn Lawson in the news
A special treat: Lynn Lawson is interviewed. However, NBC5DFW’s report is not quite
accurate. Lynn IS safe in her home, which is not more toxic than outdoors, and she doesn’t
“prefer spending her days outdoors” (winter in Illinois is pretty cold). Lynn tells us: “What
I am spraying in our kitchen is a bottle filled with vinegar and water, not an aerosol.” Also, she
provided the producer a lot of info on fragrances, which wound up on the cutting room floor because
the producer needed to stick to her topic: aerosols and air fresheners.– barb)
http://nbc5dfw.healthsurfing.com/1999/12/06/ - Staying Well in a Toxic World: Understanding Environmental Illness,
Multiple Sensitivity, Injuries, Sick Building Syndrome
By Lynn Lawson.
Staying Well … is not just a self-help book. Instead, it discusses what our illness says about
our world. It takes on the larger issues of politics, the environment, history, sociology and the
medical establishment. 488 pp. 1993

Cancer information
My father had his lower jaw removed, along with 2/3 of his tongue, the glands in his neck
and his top rib due to cancer. He was a smoker. He had been a handsome man. He lived with the
effects of that surger for seven years, during which time he taught himself to speak again and
returned to his practice of chiropractic. Dad died in August 1969 at not quite age 67 from the
effects of a stroke . . . also a smoking-related risk.
My father-in-law also developed cancer of the jaw — the side opposite my father’s — and
underwent his surgery five years after my father had his. My father-in-law’s cancer spread to
his lungs and he died in August 1968, 11 months following surgery. If you take time zones into
consideration, it would become a year to the day before my father died.
My mother developed cancer of the larynx, coming on with a sudden and then lasting case of
laryngitis in May 1975. In January 1976 she had a biopsy, which confirmed her illness. She
refused surgery having experienced my father’s plight with him. She did take cobalt treatments
and continued working until the day after Labor Day, 1976. She died Sept. 30, just a couple of
weeks before her 63rd birthday.
My mother-in-law, who never really smoked although in the early years used to fancy herself an
after dinner smoker, gave up that activity upon the death of her husband. She lived a rather
long, relatively healthy live, dying just five days before her 98th birthday in 1998. She suffered a
broken hip in October 1998 and, while she survived the surgery, she could not win the battle
against pneumonia.
One out of four parents lived a rather long, healthy life. One out of four was never a real smoker.
Surgery for oral cancers are disfiguring, to say the very least. Think twice before putting that
tobacco product in your mouth. — barb

“… In addition to the damage caused by this soot to home furnishings and the ventilation
system, there may also be a health hazard associated with breathing the sub-micron
particulate soot, especially among the elderly, children, and those with compromised
respiratory systems. These small particulates bypass the body¼s defense mechanisms,
and can be breathed deep into the lungs, and become embedded in the lining of the
lungs.”

A University of Michigan School of Public Health study of candles purchased from

lead into the air.

CEI (Competitive Enterprise Institute)
“The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) is a pro-market, public policy group
committed to advancing the principles of free enterprise and limited government.
Founded in 1984 by Fred L. Smith, Jr., CEI emphasizes the marketing and
implementation of classical liberal ideals.” CEI utilizes a five-point management approach to affecting public policy: analysis,
education, coalition building, advocacy and litigation. Its purpose is to advance the
free-market agenda, believing limited government and competition best serve the
public interest.“A non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, CEI relies entirely on donations from corporations, foundations, and private
individuals with an interest in restoring individual liberties and economic freedom. All
contributions are tax deductible.”

How do “nature” (genes) and “nurture” (workplace and other environments)

Try as I might, I can’t keep up with the growing information available on MCS and
MCS Chats, etc. That is good news. When I first started out, there was very little info
available. It is also bad news. The longer the “experts” have taken the industry’s
line of thinking (books/cmaeibri.htm) to heart,
the more millions of people have become ill . . . or prematurely dead. A very sad
commentary. It IS the s, folks. And, it IS indoor air quality that really gets us . . .
and our pets. We all can do something about our indoor air … make smarter, cleaner air,
purchasing decisions. Let’s wake up before it’s too late for all. — barb

By Allan Andersen, the Danish Society for the Conservation of Nature
“Several European NGOs have published their own policies or strategies on chemicals. A
few are mentioned below, and main conclusions or recommendations are cited. We
hope that this brief summary may inspire other NGOs in their work with chemicals issues. …”
http://www.fbr.dk/chemaware/newslet/issue02/fulltext.html#article3 - 20,000 chemicals deemed dangerous
Issue # 11, October 23rd 2000
“By means of sophisticated computer technology the Danish Environmental Agency
has now identified adverse environmental effects or health hazards in 20,000 chemical
substances previously not known to be dangerous. Thus the Agency has brought to light
a major European problem. The industries are prepared to make useful the new
information.“The threat to environment and health presented by chemicals is a lot more far-reaching
than previously assumed by European authorities. After many years of intensive
studies the Danish Environmental Agency is soon to publish a list of 20,000 chemical
substances with undesired effects on environment or health.“So far EU has only listed some 5,000 substances as dangerous.
“The 20,000 substances now assessed by the DK Environmental Agency, using computer
modelling, were hardly known previously in terms of their harmful effects. . . . “

- ENTRY AND FATE OF CHEMICALS IN HUMANS
ABSORPTION, DISTRIBUTION AND FATE
“. . . Once a chemical is absorbed into the bloodstream, it can have several different
fates. In many cases, it is rapidly removed from the body through the urine or feces.
In other situations, it may be stored in various parts of the body, such as fat or bone,
and remain in the individual for many years. A compound may also lead to a toxic effect
through interaction with certain organs or tissues in the individual or with other
compounds in the body. Often, a substance which is absorbed into the body interacts
with particular body chemicals and is changed into one or more other chemicals. This
process is called metabolism and the products are called metabolites. Metabolism may
lead to products which are easier for the body to excrete and so can protect the body
from possible adverse effects. In other cases, however, the metabolites may be more
toxic than the original chemical which was absorbed. The variety of products resulting
from metabolism may have the same possible fates as the original chemical — storage,
excretion or toxicity. . . .”

FORMALDEHYDE EFFECTS – “Skin reactions: …chemical can be both irritating and
allergy-causing…(EPA). A slight sensation of tiny insects crawling over the eyes, nose
and pharynx (formication) is felt at 2-3 ppm. (Zurlo N, via OSH, NZ.) Contact with the
vapour or solution causes skin to become white, rough, hard and anaesthetic due to
superficial coagulation necrosis. With long exposure, dermatitis and hypersensitivity
frequently result. “

Chemical Awareness
“Background information:
A European NGO-campaign on chemicals policy
By Allan Andersen, The Danish Society for the Conservation of Nature,
Christian Ege Joergensen, The Danish Ecological Council, and Poul Wendel Jessen,
The Danish Consumer Council.
“The whole framework of directives, which make up EU chemicals policy, is now under
revision. It is crucial that environmental and consumer NGO¼s become actively
involved in formulating the chemicals policy of the future. To strengthen NGO efforts,
we ask all NGO¼s and other interested parties to support the Chemicals Campaign
outlined below.
“During the most recent 50 years of industrial development, the production of chemicals
has increased 3-400 times on a global scale. Of the 10-15 million substances known
today, at least 100,000 chemical substances can be found individually as industrially
manufactured-marketed substances.
“We give names to and know chemical formulas of practically all of these substances.
However, even though we have dramatically increased our knowledge of the biological
significance of chemical substances, we know very little – or often nothing at all – about
the biological effects of an overwhelming majority of the man-made chemicals. . . . “

It’s only “anecdotal,” but damn, it is true! Several years ago, several people gathered for a
meeting with Berkeley’s Commission on Disability. They met in a Senior Citizens Center. That
particular evening, one of the custodial crew, cleaned with a load of bleach. Several of us wound
up with our lungs seared. Only one woman received any recompense from the city . . . to cover
her emergency room visit as I recall. None of my visits to alternative care were covered by the
city, nonetheless, I lived with very painful lungs for several weeks as a result. Maybe bleach
companies wish to assure us that their product is safe and its only the big guys like paper mills
that pollute, but let me assure you, bleach can cause adverse health effects in “small” quantities
too . . . and it certainly can be a severe pollutant of the indoor air environment. — barb

“… Waste production can in fact be viewed as a sign of inefficiency and lost profit. …”.“… Ford replaced an existing hot caustic paint stripping process used for cleaning car
skids with a high pressure water jet system. The project resulted in annual savings of
$300,000 from reduced chemical, energy and waste disposal costs. Significant
improvements in paint quality were also achieved through the ability to clean the
skids on a more regular basis than had previously been possible. This cleaner production
success gave Ford the incentive to look for other opportunities to improve its
environmental performance and reduce costs. …”

Commonweal’s interest in POPs reflects our broader interest in chemicals that pose a threat to
human and wildlife health, whether as carcinogens, teratogens, or developmental and
reproductive toxins (some but not all of which are also endocrine disrupters). This interest
is reflected nationally in our work with the Health Care Without Harm campaign.

Included are chemical analyses by two labs — the second lab’s work in table format,
giving excerpted info from MSDS. The FDA is still accepting letters and documentation. Please see:
- YOU should be able to learn aboutchemical ingredientsin fragrance
products! But because of trade secret laws, the industry is protected and you don’t
have the right to know! It’s up to you to protect your health and the health of your family
members. You can begin doing so by using fragrance-free products (which are not necessarily
free of fragrnces by the way and that’s OK with the FDA!*), or good old fashioned baking soda
as a personal deodorant, dentifrice and cleaning agent for porcelain; lemon juice; salt; vinegar;
Borax . . . for cleaning.

Perfumes cause allergies
“…The study concluded that the number of eczema patients with perfume allergy has
doubled since 1979 from one in twenty eczema patients to one in ten in 1995. …”
“Tests by the perfume/cosmetics industry
“The majority of studies have been undertaken by the perfume/cosmetics industry, and
only a minor part are publicly available. Jeanne Duus Johansen suggests that when
the results are made public, they are likely to show better results than those of the
studies she has been involved with. This is because the industry tests perfumes on healthy
persons and so the number of allergic eczema reactions will always be lower than in
the studies at Gentofte University Hospital, where the substances are tested on eczema
patients. This means that the industry’s research will not show how the
products affect people with allergy problems. …”

Coumarin – an anticoagulant, a raw fragrance material, a
suspected carcinogen, a rodentcide, its role in fetal abnormalties …
Note: See write-up on Warfarinregarding effects on fetus at Healthgate.
(“Acts as a coumarin anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting”) Warning! They state:
“Heparin is safer during pregnancy than warfarin. See Heparin.” From what I’ve been able to
find, that may be incorrect information. See below.Coumarin is an anticoagulant, a raticide, and a common chemical used without restriction
in flavoring tobacco. But what’s more, it is a commonly used fragrance ingredient. Now what I’m
trying to learn is: Can the babies of pregnant fragrance users develop Fetal Coumarin syndrome?
Also, what about pregnant women who are the secondhand recipients of fragrance
chemicals? I have a link to info linking behavior of children to prenatal exposure to coumarins. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10936441&dopt=Abstract

Indoor air quality can be impacted by some chemicals used to clean, protect, maintain, and
decorate the home and its furnishings, for personal care and grooming, and for hobbies.Products can release chemicals into the air during use, as the product dries or cures, or off
gas as the products age.
Examples of household products that could be an indoor air quality problem:
paints
cleaning products
hobby products
varnishes
disinfectants
cosmetics and personal care products
waxes
degreasers
strippers
pesticides
caulking adhesives
air fresheners

I have also seen it used in cosmetics, and used in eastern Europe to helpÝ
remove radiations from humans & cattle, after a Nuclear mishap. It is usedÝ
in high-end air cleaners, ever hear of a (CZ filter – carbon/zeolite filter to
remove VOC’s). it is used in water filtration plants, the list is endless!!
It is used in pet fish tanks to remove ammonia from the water. Supermarkets
now are starting to carry small zeolite containers to keep food fresh in a
refrigerator. FDA has also approved it’s use in shoes and directly on your

“Natural” cosmetics that itch
“Allergy sufferers cannot feel on the safe side by purchasing natural ingredient-based
perfumes and cosmetics – the so-called “natural” cosmetic products. Some of these
products contain both synthetic substances and allergens according to a new study by
the Department of Environmental Chemistry at the National Environmental Research
Institute. Among other things, the study concluded that “… several natural ingredient-
based cosmetic products contain relatively high concentrations of known allergenic
fragrances: hydroxycitronellal, a-amylcinnamic aldehyde, coumarin, cinnamic alcohol
and a-hexylcinnamic aldehyde”.
