An increasing number of chemical products may trigger a reaction, including some unrelated to the initial exposure. Most frequently, MCS affects an individual's overall physical and emotional health. It typically impairs the nervous system. It may affect the digestive and respiratory systems as well. A chemically sensitive person may also have other pre-existing health conditions.
Many affected people experience a number of symptoms with each chemical exposure.
In an effort to promote the growing and dynamic field of green building, the Scottsdale Green Building Program presents the Green Building Lecture Series. Each lecture will address one of the many and varied green building subjects that demonstrate energy and resource efficient, healthy, and environmentally responsible building practices. The kick off lecture will be on October 4 from 7 to 9 PM and will serve as an introduction and overview to green building. Following lectures will take place on the 1st Wednesday of the month through June of 2001. This means green building projects receive building permits in half the time as regular projects depending on the degree of complexity.
