For persons with MCS (and all of us to consider):

Many of these suggestions come from the Multiple Chemical Sensitivities Task Force of New Mexico who point out that not only does reducing exposure to chemicals improve the health of those with MCS, better air quality also helps promote the health of everyone.

• Avoid newly built or remodeled buildings, including new carpets.
• Avoid new paint and solvent-based stains and transparent finishes.
• Use least toxic, natural, and unscented cleaning, laundry, and sanitizing products.
• Avoid air "freshener" sprays, incense, and fragrance-emitting devices
• Ventilate buildings with clean fresh air and/or use portable room air filters.
• Avoid gasoline fumes and vehicle exhaust.
• Avoid solvent, dry-cleaning, and tar fumes.
• Avoid tobacco smoke.
