Abstract:
The report is based on a study of the scientific literature on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, MCS, in Denmark called odour and chemical hypersensitivity. It is concluded that MCS - a new health disorder which has been described during the last 20 years - is a real condition. MCS differs from the common scientific understanding of illness because the condition is always manifested by multiple non-specific symptoms from different organs at the same time and because these symptoms may occur after exposure to chemicals at very low concentrations.
Abstract in Danish:
Rapporten gennemgår den internationale faglitteratur om Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity, MCS (i Danmark også kaldet duft- og kemikalieoverfølsomhed).
Rapporten konkluderer, at MCS - et nyt sygdomsfænomen, der er blevet beskrevet
i de seneste 20 år - eksisterer. MCS adskiller sig fra den gængse
videnskabelige sygdomsopfattelse, fordi sygdommen altid optræder med
forskelligartede symptomer fra flere organer på en gang, og fordi disse
symptomer kan udløses ved udsættelse for kemiske stoffer i meget lave
koncentrationer.
