Exposure Control (pg 10)

Exposure controls are essential for healing.

Medical treatment is not a substitute for exposure controls at home, work and/or school: places where the person spends most of their time. Humans are social beings, and these measures above gradually increase the person’s ability to enjoy the company of others and use public places. When society is adequately informed and takes public health reasonable accommodation at work, home (e.g. apartments, condos, etc.) and school measures to reduce irritants and toxins in personal products and public places, this further promotes health and reduces chemical injury.

The book Less Toxic Alternatives by health educator Carolyn Gorman (214-361-9515) is recommended. Also look at the Environmental Control Plan and other resources (including reasonable accommodation) here on www.chemicalinjury.net. Use less toxic pest control: www.beyondpesticides.org. Get help locating less toxic products, housing at www.CIIN.org. The book The Endangered Brain (626-798-4299) lists less toxic products and explains brain problems in plain English.
