Prevalence and risk factors for multiple chemical sensitivity in Australia / P.D. Pigatto, G. Guzzi. - In: PREVENTIVE MEDICINE REPORTS. - ISSN 2211-3355. - 14(2019 Jun), pp. 100856.1-100856.2.
Abstract:
The author found that the prevalence of diagnosed multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) in Australia was 6.5%. No mention is made about the role of exposure to metals. Exposure to metallic elements has been associated with MCS. Metals are a well-known primary risk factor for idiopathic environmental intolerance. It is important that the medical approach designed to reduce the risk factors for MCS includes preventive strategies of metal exposure.
