[Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) -- scientific and health policy aspects].
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is characterized by an increased sensitivity towards chemicals. Many patients with severed unspecific symptoms ascribe these to MCS. At present there is neither a generally accepted diagnosis nor a therapeutic concept. The ENT doctor should look at the nasal airflow resistance, nasal mucosa and olfactory system.
