A Definition of Environmental Sensitivities:

_http://www.aeha.ca/_ (http://www.aeha.ca/)

 

Environmental Sensitivities can occur when people become sensitive to

substances or phenomena in their everyday environment at levels well below what

“

normal†people would consider acceptable. Sensitivity reactions can be

triggered by scented products, cleaning products, laundry detergents, paints,

petrochemicals, cigarette smoke, pesticides, pets, plants, fuels,

electromagnetic

radiation, molds, foods, etc.

 

The effect of environmental sensitivities can be overwhelming. Productive

people may suddenly or gradually become unable to tolerate offices, homes,

schools, hospitals and public places. Despite skills and education, some people

with sensitivities end up on social assistance. Many become socially isolated

as they are forced to retreat from places and activities they love, and for

some, the devastation extends to losing spouses, family and friends who may

not believe they are ill.

 

This disability may be invisible, but it is real. Environmental

Sensitivities have been recognized as disabilities by the Canadian Human Rights

Commission and many provincial human rights commissions.

 

" Every Truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the

first, it is ridiculed. In the second, it is opposed. In the third, it is

regarded as self-evident. " -Schopenhauer

 

 

The purpose of AHEA-Ottawa is to provide support and gain respect and

understanding for the many men, women, and children suffering with multiple

chemical sensitivities (MCS), Toxic Injury (TI), ES (Environmental

Sensitivities)

and other related disabilities. We strive to create public awareness by

providing education for the full recognition of MCS while promoting mutual

respect

between fellow human beings and encouraging all members of the MCS community

to participate and create a world in which there is no threat of toxic injury.
