COLORADO GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS MAY 2010 AS MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY/TOXIC INJURY AWARENESS MONTH
It is stated in the Proclamation, that Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and toxic injury affect people of all ages, ethnicities, cultures, and religions, and that MCS and toxic injury are often characterized by heightened sensitivity to minute amounts of air pollution, petrochemicals, and other toxins, and that MCS and toxic injury are chronic conditions for which there are no known cures, creating multiple, often disabling illnesses, which can be life-threatening.
It is also stated, that raising awareness to educate citizens of the dangers of MCS and toxic injury is one of the many ways we can battle the devastating effects of this chronic incurable condition and that the State of Colorado recognizes those who suffer from MCS or toxic injury, and acknowledges these victims deserve the same rights, respect, and support allotted for those with other illnesses and disabilities.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a most devastating worldwide epidemic, affecting an estimated 16% of the US population. This terrible illness is triggered by exposures to toxic chemicals in the environment and is the direct consequence of global environmental pollution.
