Environmental Illness and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Injury Awareness Iowa Governor Chester Culver has signed a proclamation that "May 2008 is Toxic Injury Awareness and Education Month." The proclamation states that toxic injury, illnesses and disabilities arise from toxic exposures and include multiple, often disabling illnesses and can be life threatening. It further states that toxic injury is "often characterized by medical intolerance to very small amounts of air pollution, petrochemicals and other toxins found in homes, our everyday products and environment. It can be caused by short-term or chronic exposure to one or more chemicals, frequently pesticides, and solvents" The proclamation briefly describes some of the deeply challenging aspects of Toxic Injury stating that it causes "serious financial, employment, learning, housing, health, social and other consequences...the prevalence of these illnesses and the lack of knowledge and qualified doctors clearly warrant further education int his field for the public in general, future as well as practicing doctors, dentists, rescue personnel as well as otehr health care, social service, rehabilitation, housing, architects, HVAC designers and installers, building maintenance and cleaning personnel, school and employer/supervisory persons at schools, work places and public facilities and pest control personnel.
