It IS the combinations of chemicals,
states UC Professor Tyrone Hayes
in Oakland Tribune article about pesticides.
It IS the environment states
Breast Cancer Action and Breast Cancer Fund
in an Oakland Tribune article about breast cancer.
It IS the combination of fragrance chemicals,
as well as individual petrochemically derived
chemicals,
state Betty Bridges, RN (FPIN) and Barb Wilkie (EHN)
since petitioning the FDA May 11, 1999.

At 9:30 a.m., PST, Wednesday, Mar 7, 2006 the poll runs at 45%
approve of ban of fragrances and 49% disapprove
I wonder how many who disapprove -- despite the fact that the story
gives some of the symptoms -- have any idea of the toxic chemicals
in fragrances and how they can leave the user to seriously affect
the health of all others, regardless of their current health
conditions.
And, I further wonder if the people living with or dying prematurely
from environmentally caused lung cancer -- that apart from smoking
-- happen to be, or have been, users of fragranced products. When
will researchers start looking at the plethora of fragrance
chemicals -- tens to hundreds of chemicals used for any one
fragrance -- as to possible cause of those otherwise "unexplained"
cases of lung cancer?
