I’ve known others to live in their car on the driveway, and have even been ran out to mine briefly in the past when I still had one. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity should become a household word just like Diabetes, or Heart Disease.&nbsp; There is no need for us to undergo harsh and cruel treatment from Landlords who do not understand our disability, mock us, and&nbsp; even make a game out of exposing us to the very things that make us sick.&nbsp; Can we create an awareness and put an end to this type of treatment. Answer:&nbsp; Yes We Can!&nbsp; I am confident that we can have “safer” housing, even in the traditional&nbsp; low income housing projects which can tolerated by some, by removing disability barriers such as air fresheners, and harsh cleaning chemicals, and by giving advanced notice of pesticide, and lawn spray applications, paint projects, etc. depending upon the tenants sensitivities. And we all have different needs as no two of us have the same tolerance level.&nbsp; How are we going to do this?&nbsp; Together.&nbsp; Professionally. Every City. Every State.&nbsp; Supporting each other as much as possible through letters, phone calls, and offering support.&nbsp; Let’s put our heads together and see what we can do. <h5><span style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:small;"><img style="border-right-width:0px;margin:25px 0px 6px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://411ltd.com/linie.gif "></span></h5> <h5><span style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:small;"></span><em>Information shared for the benefit of policy-makers and the greater good</em></h5> <h5><em>Text copyright belongs to source linked in this post.

They used information provided by the California Department of Health about the births and the mothers, as well as air pollution information from monitoring stations, which measure concentrations of airborne toxic pollutants. <p>The researchers found exposure to critical pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons led to a 30% increase in premature births compared to pregnant women who didn't have the same exposure. Other toxic substances, such as benzene and fine particulate matter from diesel fumes, were associated with a 10% increase and ammonium nitrate fine particles were associated with a 21% increase. <p>Researchers said air pollution is already known to be associated with low birth weight. </p> <h5><span style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:small;"><img style="border-right-width:0px;margin:25px 0px 6px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://411ltd.com/linie.gif "></span></h5> <h5><span style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:small;"></span><em>Article shared for the benefit of policy-makers and the greater good. </em></h5> <h5><em>Text copyright belongs to the source.
