Self-reported chemical sensitivity in Germany: A population-based survey
چکیده انگلیسی
The prevalence of subjective sensitivity towards chemicals is similar to such rates reported from other countries. There is a relatively low awareness of the MCS-concept, and it appears to be diagnosed less frequently than, e.g., in the USA. Since symptoms and triggers in chemically sensitive individuals did not differ from the general population, our data do not suggest the existence of a widespread new syndrome related to chemical sensitivities in Germany. We outline the limitations of self-reported chemical sensitivity as the major criterion for such a contentious diagnosis as MCS.
