Environmental Health Association of Canada (EHAC-ASEC) invites you to join a workshop on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

This workshop will explore how indoor air quality impacts accessibility in the built environment, drawing on emerging science, accessibility law, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and lived experience. The session will highlight biological sensitization, source control, fragrance-free approaches and lowest-emission practices that support more inclusive environments.

The workshop is open to everyone and may be especially relevant to staff, students, administrators, municipalities, policymakers, health care professionals, disability advocates, employers and individuals with lived experience interested in accessibility, public health and inclusive spaces.

EHAC-ASEC works to raise awareness of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and reduce harmful chemical exposures in workplaces and communities through education, advocacy, research, and policy development. We strongly believe in the value of partnerships and collective action in advancing healthier, more accessible environments for all.
