Something in the Air: Airborne
Allergens
Chemical Sensitivity
Some people report that they react to chemicals in their environment
and that these allergy-like reactions appear to result from
exposure to a wide variety of synthetic and natural substances,
such as those found in paints, carpeting, plastics, perfumes,
cigarette smoke, and plants. Although the symptoms may resemble
some of the manifestations of allergies, sensitivity to chemicals
does not represent a true allergic reaction involving IgE and
the release of histamine or other chemicals.
