Symptoms range from minor discomfort to extreme disability and isolation.
Because of the concern for the health and well-being of persons with symptoms of MCS, several federal agencies formed a workgroup in 1995 to review scientific literature pertinent to MCS, consider recommendations from various expert panels on MCS, and develop technical and policy recommendations for the agencies to consider. The EHPC is the senior level policy committee for environmental health issues in the Department. The committee has liaison members from other federal departments that have environmental and public health responsibilities. The workgroup has developed a draft document entitled, A Report on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Summary findings, research recommendations and policy recommendations are provided in this report.
