OBJECTIVE MEDICAL FINDINGS IN THE CHEMICALLY SENSITIVE
- Toxic Exposures: A Recent Case Study In Tennessee
- Objective Medical Findings in the Chemically Sensitive
CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY DIAGNOSTICS Proving that sensitivity to chemicals at even ambient/ non- toxic levels, is measurable and real.
Diagnostic tests which have obje- ctively established the presence of chemical sensitivities have been inadequately addressed (or not addressed at all) by many organizations concerned with Env- ironmental Illness and Chemical Sensitivities. Skin testing, RAST & ELISA immunoassays have confir- med the presence of chemical sensitivities.
- Testing for chemical sensitivities:A necessary part of the evaluation of otolaryngology patients who have chronic illness
- Intradermal testing for chemical sensitivities: a double-blind controlled study
- Whealing has been repeatedly documented in the testing for chemical sensitivities
- Occupationally caused sensitization and IgE-mediated disease evidenced by RAST, ELISA and radioassay tests
CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY CAN AFFECT MORE THAN ONE BODY SYSTEM IN THE SAME PERSON
- Allergic Contact Dermatitis and new-onset Asthma
- Urticaria and Asthma in a 6 year old due to dental sealant
- Chemical Sensitivity causing Asthma, Rhinoconjunctivitis and Contact Dermatitis in the same patient
- Immunologically Mediated Occupational Asthma;Prolonged disability due to airway inflamation: Occupational Asthma and Contact Dermatitis in a Spray-Painter
- Dusts: Occupationally induced Dermatitis, Rhinitis, Bronchitis and Asthma
- Dual Chemical Sensitivity in a manicurist
HIGH PRODUCTION VOLUME CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY [HPVCS] AND CANCERS CAUSED BY HPVC
An HPVC is defined by the US Government as: A chemical whose production in America, and importation into America equals an amount greater than one million pounds per year.
- IgE-mediated sensitization, headache, cough, burning eyes, rhinitis and epistaxis (nose bleeds) due to Formaldehyde exposure
- Phenyl isocyanate is a potent chemical sensitizer
- Benzene Hematotoxicity
- Hematotoxicity in Workers Exposed to Low Levels of Benzene [less than 1 part benzene per million parts of air]
REACTIVE AIRWAYS DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME IS A CASE-SPECIFIC FORM OF CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY
- What is Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome?
- Nasal pathology and ultrastructure in patients with chronic airway inflammation (RADS and RUDS) following an irritant exposure
- Cleaning agents are airway irritants
- There have been a number of studies documenting an association between exposure to indoor allergens and development of both sensitization and asthma
PARTICLE AIR POLLUTANTS CAUSE RESPIRATORY DAMAGE
- Synthetic Monofilament Fiber Dust Exposures: The respiratory effects of occupational Polypropylene flock exposure
- Synthetic Flock Worker's Lung:Worker's increased risk of chronic nongranulomatous interstitial lung disease with histopathologic abnormalities such as lymphoid nodules
- Translocation of inhaled particles from alveolar spaces to lung parenchyma and lymph nodes
- Fiber dust accumulation in offices and health complaints
- Ventilation filters and compromised indoor air quality
- Studies show a strong correlation between airborne particles and the prevalence of some specific sick building syndrome
- Indoor particles and symptoms among office workers
