•
European Union Institutions
have recognized the toxic effects on health caused by the cocktail of
chemicals existing in the environment.
•
It has also been recognized the
emergence of environmental diseases such as: Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity (MCS) and the Electrohypersensitivity (EHS).
•
Both diseases show a high
prevalence which keeps increasing.
•
The World Health Organization
(WHO) has recognized the potential carcinogenicity of electromagnetic
waves.
•
There is scientific literature
in abundance which justifies the existence of both diseases.
•
Spain issued on November the
30th a consensus document on MCS which recognizes the environmental
nature of MCS and recommends that it should be included in the
International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
•
There are countries in Europe,
such as Germany, Luxembourg and Austria which have already included MCS in
their ICD.
•
In Sweden, EHS is
already considered a disability.
•
There are numerous court
decisions that recognize the environmental nature of these diseases.
•
The WHO recognizes the sovereignty
of countries to set modifications in their ICDs.
Why is your signature essential?
•
Ill people exist but are not
being treated equally everywhere in the European Union due to the lack of
a code for each of these diseases.
•
Ill patients need immediate
response.
•
Correct diagnoses need to
be made, urgently implement palliative treatments as long as healing
treatments keep not being achieved, and also more research projects
need to take place on different subjects.
•
Patients need to access to and
receive recognition of their rights on health, labor, legal, environmental
and social standards.
•
The Written Declaration should
result in a response to the need to allocate patients in safe environments
and in housing which would be adapted for these patients. We do not
currently have places to live in without health risk.
•
Urgent measures for prevention should
be taken.Legislation should be implemented for protection against the
chemical and electromagnetic pollution, given that both factors interact in
humans and are causing emerging diseases to occur.
Human
being's health is extremely vulnerable
to the surrounding environment
We would be grateful if
you can SIGN this Written Declaration supporting sufferers of Multiple
Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome and Hyperelectrosensitivity.
