Jacki put up one of the first sites I found on the subject of MCS.
It continues to be one to which I return, for Jacki continues to
add information as it becomes available to her.

"... Over the past several years, JAN has provided information
regarding fragrance sensitivity and accommodations in the
workplace. There has been a steady increase in cases related to
chemical sensitivity, environmental illness, allergy and respiratory
impairments. JAN Consultants have found that fragrance sensitivity
is the most prevalent issue related to these cases. A JAN case
database search for the term fragrance resulted in a clear increase in cases
since 1992; 37 cases between 1992-1995, and 567 between 1996-2000." [emphasis added]
Translation: It costs money to not control the use of scented products in the workplace.
And for the chemically injured, the costs are beyond calculation! -- barb
"...An employer could choose to make a request that
employees voluntarily refrain from wearing fragrances
or the employer could go as far as creating a policy that
requires employees to refrain. An employer has the right to
decide how far is reasonable when implementing accommodations. ..."

While the title is intriguing, this section deals only with pregnancy and age discrimination.
I guess those who are still gainfully employed, not pregnant and not "too old" don't have a right
to breath air unpolluted by modern synthetic scents, pesticides and various other high-
emitting VOC (volatile organic compound) products, for which there are ample alternatives.
And even pregnant women could be forced to breathe air so polluted, basaed on the fact that an
employer could point to that phrase, "recognized hazards." Yet another example of that axiom,
Never Measure, Never Manage! -- barb
"...Occupational Safety And Health Act
"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to
provide a workplace free from recognized hazards that cause, or are likely to cause,
death or serious physical harm to pregnant women or their babies. It also gives
employees information about dangerous chemicals and substances. State and
municipal laws also allow employees and unions the right to ask for the names of
chemicals and other substances used in the workplace. ..."

- AllerCare Products Recall
Remember the adage: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Only YOU can do
something about poisoning your body, your air and the water downstream: STOP buying
products containing petrochemically derived fragrances until the flavors and fragrance industry
and the FDA can show us that these products are safe for the user . . . and everyone who
comes in contact with the user. I might add, if you clean well, keep the area dry, add lots of fresh air
and sunshine to the mix, you don't have to rely on pesticides to control dustmites.
