Article Synopsis
- This investigation aimed to identify and measure indoor air exposures in homes of individuals with chemical intolerance (CI), provide guidance on reducing these exposures, and evaluate an environmental house calls (EHCs) intervention to alleviate symptoms and lower contaminant levels.
- The study highlights a significant public health concern, as indoor air pollutants can be much higher than outdoor levels, with common triggers including fragranced consumer products that significantly affect individuals with CI.
- Results from case studies showed that structured home interventions could effectively teach residents to minimize their exposure to indoor pollutants, leading to improved symptoms and lower levels of volatile organic compounds, particularly fragrances.
Background: We sought to replicate our 2015 findings linking chemical intolerance in parents with the risk of their children developing autism and/or ADHD. Drawing upon our 2021 discovery of a strong association between chemical intolerance and mast cells, we propose an explanation for this link.
Methods: In a population-based survey of U.
The Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory (QEESI) is a validated questionnaire used worldwide to assess intolerances to chemicals, foods, and drugs, and has emerged as the gold standard for assessing chemical intolerance (CI). Despite a reported prevalence of 8-33%, epidemiological studies and routine primary care clinics rarely assess CI. To help address this gap, we developed the Brief Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory (BREESI)-a 3-item CI screening tool.
