      From the state of New York’s Department of Public Health –
        “Risk

        “Risk is the possibility of injury, disease or death. For

        example, for a person who has measles, the risk of death is

        one in one million.

        “Risk assessment

        “A process which estimates the likelihood that people who have

        been exposed to chemicals may have health effects. The four

        steps of a risk assessment are: hazard identification (Can

        this substance damage health?); dose-response assessment

        (What dose causes what effect?); exposure assessment (How and

        how much do people contact it?); and risk characterization

        (combining the other three steps to estimate risk).



        “Risk management

        “The process of deciding how to reduce or eliminate possible

        health effects by considering the risk assessment, engineering

        factors (Can engineering procedures or equipment do the job, for

        how long and how well?) and social, economic and political concerns.”




    • A GUIDE TO REFERENCE MATERIALS ON TOXIC SUBSTANCES


    • What You Know Can Help You– An Introduction To Toxic Substances

        ” ** Potency: Potency (strength) is a measure of a chemical’s

        toxicity. A more potent chemical is more toxic. For example,

        sodium cyanide is more potent than sodium chloride (table salt)

        since swallowing a smaller amount of cyanide can poison you.

        “The potency and, therefore, the toxicity of a chemical can be

        affected by its breakdown within the human body. When a substance

        is absorbed into the body, its chemical structure may be changed or

        metabolized to a substance that is more toxic or less toxic. For

        example, carbon tetrachloride, once a commonly used solvent, is

        changed by the body into a more toxic chemical that causes liver

        damage. For some other chemicals, metabolism changes the chemical

        into a form that is more easily eliminated by the body.”

      Folks, check out this — the program is a PDF file. If you need Adobe Acrobat you can

      download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/


        “FRIDAY, JANUARY 12 …

        ” 8:30 – 12:00 Special Program – Treatment Symposium for Medically

        Unexplained Symptoms

        “Patients with somatic symptoms not explained by organic illness are a challenge for

        physicians and therapists, alike. This treatment symposium will focus on cognitive

        behavioral interventions designed specifically for the patient who presents with

        somatic symptoms and who may be resistant to behavioral treatment strategies.

        This workshop combines didactic and experiential exercises to clarify the myths and
        facts about these illnesses and to offer treatment approaches currently being

        applied with this patient group.”

      I wonder if anyone has bothered to “focus on cognitive behavioral interventions designed
      specifically for the” doctor who presents with resistence to learn about the adverse effects of
      70,000 – 80,000 chemicals in commerce today. Most chemical products are released with no
      understanding of longterm effects! And, if you get a look at deaths associated with prescribed
      medicines, you may wonder if anyone knows any of the shortterm or immediate adverse effects of
      drugs we are supposed to turst. Add to that other synthetic products like fertilizers,
      pesticides, fragrances, various cleaning and maintenance products, including the latest fad:
      antibacterials. We’re all sitting on a chemical timebomb. It IS ticking. — barb

    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

    Chlorine

    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

      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.

      * “fragrance-free

      “products so labeled may still contain small amounts of fragrances to mask the fatty odor of soap or
      other unpleasant odors” from http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-safe.html — barb

        Quoting Script for transparency #3

        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

    “Very Safe Non-toxic, it is even is used as a binder, filler in animal feed!!Ý

    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

    feet (foot powder).”
