issues, including, but not limited to, birth and
developmental disorders, new and emerging disorders such
as Chemical Intolerance/Injury (CI), Gulf War Syndrome,
as well as familiar fixed-named diseases such as

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in New York City. "We are disabled, cannot work,
and are primarily homebound. We are unable to do many
basic things for ourselves. We live in New York City.
This is a collection of resources that has helped us. It
has been discovered and gathered the hard way, after many
crises and setbacks, through periods of severely
crippling illness, over many years of struggle." This website was compiled to assist New
Yorkers who have suffered chemical injury. It is hoped
that it will also be valuable to anyone trying to
understand, cope with, and assist someone with Multiple
Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), or Environmental Injury (EI).
