There may be people around us who have chemical hypersensitivity. We ask for your understanding and cooperation regarding chemical hypersensitivity.
What is chemical sensitivity?
Once exposed to a certain amount of chemical substances (softeners, cigarettes, perfumes, cosmetics, deodorants, housing construction materials, automobile exhaust gas, alcohol for disinfection, etc.), once hypersensitivity symptoms develop, after that It is said that they react hypersensitively to even the slightest amount of chemical substances, and symptoms of health hazards appear.
The mechanisms of onset and other factors remain unclear, and no treatment methods have been established.
[Symptoms]: Flickering eyes, runny nose, tinnitus, sore throat, nausea, cough, thirst, headache, insomnia, dullness, etc.
Each of us can do something
- Be mindful of the use of fragrances in places where people gather, such as public places.
- When using agricultural chemicals in public facilities such as schools, nursery schools, hospitals, parks, kitchen gardens adjacent to residential areas, and agricultural land, try to prevent the scattering of agricultural chemicals.
- When exterminating pests and rodents, devise extermination methods that do not rely on chemicals (cleaning, blocking access roads, etc.).
