We help and support people who suffer from multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) by providing resources, education, advocacy, and awareness. Our projects are aimed at addressing isolation and exclusion caused by MCS and creating an affordable, healthy, and ecological housing project in the Laurentians. We provide workshops on various topics, such as workplace accommodation, to ensure accessibility and employment. We advocate for the recognition, respect, and understanding of this disability, as well as promote this disability in the health field and in social services. We work with all levels of government, institutions, and industry to educate and inform the public about this disability. We also provide ecological solutions for everyday living and actively promote healthy spaces as a means of PREVENTION of multiple chemical sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aseq-ehaq.ca\/en\/what-is-aseq-ehaq\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"su-note front-page-box front-page-box--exposure\"  style=\"border-color:rgba(185, 208, 153, 0.85);border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:rgba(185, 208, 153, 0.85);border-color:rgba(185, 208, 153, 0.85);color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"human-health-and-the-effects-of-exposures\">HUMAN HEALTH AND THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">From conception to death, all humans are continuously exposed to and contaminated with a plethora of synthetic chemicals. This can change genes and how they function, and increases the risks of developing autism, allergies, and asthma in children, infertility and poorer pregnancy outcomes, some cancers, and chronic cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurodegenerative diseases as we age. Chemical contamination of the indoor environment poses a risk of developing sensitivities to multiple chemicals (MCS), which emanate from common scented products, such as perfumes, soaps, shampoos, cleaning products, and fabric softeners. Furthermore, these chemically sensitive people are also more likely than healthy people to develop many other chronic medical conditions (Statistics Canada).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline, is-style-outline is-style-outline--5\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aseq-ehaq.ca\/en\/human-health-and-the-effects-of-exposures\/\" rel=\"\">Click here to read more.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"su-note front-page-box front-page-box--ecolife\"  style=\"border-color:rgb(206, 247, 191, 0.85);border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:rgb(206, 247, 191, 0.85);border-color:rgb(206, 247, 191, 0.85);color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"eco-living-guide\">ECO LIVING GUIDE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Guide to healthy and ecological alternatives for daily living<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Are you concerned about the environment, your health and that of your family?

Often the health support systems in place are unable to help, advise, diagnose or treat the individual. The person is left feeling very alone and confused, unable to understand why their condition cannot be taken care of \u2013 and why they are so strongly stigmatized. However, it is very important to know that you can manage your condition by taking appropriate and timely measures and by educating family and friends so that you can receive support.

Any sign of distress from the canary was a clear signal warning to the otherwise unaware miners that the environmental conditions in the mine were unsafe and that they should be evacuated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with ES\/MCS are like the canaries in the coal mine. They are sensitive and have reactions to substances or phenomena in our environment at levels that are tolerated by people who do not have ES\/MCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their condition may be invisible, but it is real, and they are warning others that common environmental exposures can negatively impact many chronic medical conditions and pregnancy outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with MCS can identify the effects of these exposures immediately, but you don\u2019t have to have MCS to still be harmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The human canaries are warning that the environment is pushing us along a continuum leading to the emergence of more and more cases of common chronic diseases, starting at birth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow
