Washington Governor Christine O. Gregoire signed a proclamation declaring May 2009 as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Month in Washington State. As stated in the Proclamation, people of all ages in Washington have developed a condition known as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) as a result of a single massive exposure or repeated low level exposures to toxic chemicals and other irritants in the environment.
MCS is a chronic condition for which there is no known cure, and symptoms include chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pains, rashes, asthma, headaches and other respiratory and neurological problems.
The Governor also states that reasonable accommodations and raising awareness of MCS can provide opportunities for people with this disability, that people with MCS need the support of family, friends, co-workers and society as they manage their condition and adapt to new life styles, and the Governor is urging all citizens to support understanding, education, and research of MCS.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is by now a terrible worldwide epidemic, increasing daily at an alarming rate. An estimated 16% of the US population suffers from MCS. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is an environmental illness triggered by exposures to toxic chemicals in the environment, the direct consequence of global pollution. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) has spread to USA, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain,
Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Brazil, China, Japan, India, Pakistan, United Kingdom, Ireland, and many more countries.
