Understanding EHS in these terms means understanding the specific physiological pathways that cause what is generally understood to be a \u2018pathological\u2019 condition. Although this kind of understanding is necessary and useful, there are other important ways of conceiving of EHS. What if we were to flip the script? What if we understood the disability to be the result of the inaccessibility of the spaces that EHS people find themselves in, instead of a limitation or sickness of the EHS person? Drawing from insights from the \u2018social model of disability\u2019 this presentation identifies how the current cultural moment presents systematic barriers, negative attitudes and ongoing electromagnetic wounding that puts the responsibility on society for being the main contributing factor in disabling EHS persons.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=InwQiFnWKwU\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"grid-template-columns:19% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/aseq-ehaq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/meg-sears-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2045\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Meg Sears, Ph.D<br><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Why are more Canadians getting chronically sick? \u2013 Modernizing exposures assessment and regulation<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada has laws that are meant to protect human and environmental health. Meg Sears PhD will review research showing increasing chronic ill health, such as diabetes, obesity, autism, birth defects, infertility, allergic and autoimmune diseases, some cancers and other conditions associated with disruption of cellular signalling or hormone systems. Common exposures associated with these effects may also precipitate and then trigger environmental sensitivities. Sears reveals how flaws in scientific processes permit this unsustainable situation and discusses how the necessary considerations may be incorporated into chemicals management. Sears notes the urgency of curbing harmful products and thus chronic disease because as people are getting sicker, families and society also suffer and the healthcare budget balloons faster than the Gross Domestic Product \u2013 clearly an unsustainable situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MEG SEARS ChronicDisease+ChemAssess En 2019 Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DfeCjKiQzo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Environmental Sensitivity Awareness Day \u2013 May 12, 2019 Welcome to our conference for May 2019!ASEQ-EHAQ is pleased to provide you with updated information on environmental sensitivities.As in the past years, the videos will remain online on our website for viewing at any time.
