Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a chronic medical condition characterized by symptoms that the affected person attributes to exposure to low levels of chemicals. Commonly suspected substances include smoke, pesticides, plastics, synthetic fabrics, scented products, petroleum products and paints. Symptoms may be vague and non-specific, such as nausea, fatigue, and headaches.
The
Chemical Sensitivity Foundation has put together a 15-minute
video that introduces the issue of MCS.
Curious about what kinds of accommodations you may need to think about for employees with MCS? The
Job Accommodation Network (JAN) has an excellent
briefing that addresses this very issue.
