Title Multiple chemical sensitivities - New paradigm needed
Bibliographic information 1995, Vol.33, No.2, p.93-94. 4 ref.
Abstract The current principles of toxicology, immunology and allergy do not provide a coherent explanation of a chemical sensitivity that does not result in reproducible and measurable physiological or biochemical changes. A new paradigm is needed to provide a scientific model for multiple chemical sensitivities.
