9. Materials, chemicals, ingredients and mixtures of ingredients should be assessed for toxicity, at least to the standards in Europe’s REACH program.
10. Adoption of mandatory complete labelling of ingredients on all products used in homes, schools, cities and places of work, including genetically engineered foods.
11. Adoption of an expeditious plan to stop the use of hormones, antibiotics, rendered animal remains, pesticides and genetically engineered organisms in our food supply.
12. Development of best-practices for construction, finishing and maintenance of indoor spaces, as well as management of work spaces.
13. Financial support and programs to support better understanding, education, research and testing the effects of toxic exposures on the human body in order to improve the diagnosis, treatment, accommodation and prevention of MCS;
14. Registries for disease reporting must be established that require physicians to report all cases of MCS. The incidence and prevalence of MCS must be investigated and reported in all populations, including minority, low income, and First Nations communities, and with tracking of communities, especially those profoundly affected by pollutants.
15. Medical practitioners should be educated regarding health and the environment in medical schools and with continuing medical education. Early recognition of environmental factors contributing to ill health, patient outcomes may be improved.
16. Research is needed to investigate the characteristics of people with environmental sensitivities/MCS, and causal hypotheses and utility of treatments.
