• MCS & Third-Party Accommodations

  For people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), this is often our reality: We're told the illness isn’t real — it's just in our heads — and the law refuses to protect us.In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Professor Doron Dorfman, a disability law scholar at Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, New Jersey, in the U.S., explores how:People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) face discrimination because courts often dismiss fragrance-free policies as unreasonable.No-smoking rules and peanut-free zones could serve as examples for fragrance-free policies.Fragrance-free policies are truly not an administrative burden, as some argue.And more! I'd love your help. I’m running a short listener survey to understand how The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast can best serve people with MCS. It’s short, will help guide our next steps, and allow us to grow the podcast and create greater awareness about MCS. Thank you for your support!
