| Abstract: | At the present time multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) is generally acknowledged to be a poorly understood clinical syndrome which is exhibited by individuals exposed to low levels of exposure to environmental agents that the general population tolerate quite well. A wide range of individual symptoms (typically multiple and related to neurologic, endocrine/metabolic, and immunological, often occurring simultaneously) are displayed by MCS patients. Questions concerning whether or not MCS is a real clinical condition, a form of psychiatric illness or a combination of both remain to be unambiguously clarified. |
