To obtain a list of studies and articles from CIIN's in-house library, you may select from the topics listed below. CIIN will then mail you the list of studies it has on the topic(s) selected. Unfortunately because of space, a complete list of topics (over 1,000) could not be listed. So even if you don't see a topic, CIIN may still have information available. Only 5 topic lists will be provided at no charge; thereafter please include $1 per topic requested.
The Chemical Injury Information Network (CIIN) is building a library of legal documents and federal government recognition documents to aid chemically injured people with chemical sensitivities in their legal efforts for recognition, accommodation, and fair compensation. Some Packs include medical studies (see individual Pack descriptions). When medical studies are included, they are studies that have been published in well-established peer-reviewed medical journals. Unless otherwise noted, these information packs are set up so the documents do not overlap from one pack to the next. If the packs contain documents that are also listed in the Environmental Access Profiles: List of Back Issues, then those profile documents are noted in the description by their profile number abbreviated as "P." (Full profile listings are in the Environmental Access Profiles).
Back issues of Environmental Access Profiles are available only through the Chemical Injury Information Network (CIIN). The profiles are referenced and summarize the studies and highlight the main quotes for both professionals and lay people. These profiles and studies have helped numerous individuals with physician, family, and government education; workers' compensation suits and accommodation claims; Social Security disability hearings and toxic tort cases. Unless otherwise noted, all the articles profiled are from peer-reviewed journals and toxicology books. Photocopies of the actual articles may also be ordered. All orders must be prepaid. Prices listed include shipping. Duplicate profiles may be ordered, but due to copyright law, only one copy of each article may be provided per person. CIIN provides research services only and does not endorse/promote the therapies that may be mentioned in a review.
When ordering both the profile and study articles together, please take a 10% discount.
This profile covers two papers (one published and one pre-sented at an Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics workshop) by Linda L. Davidoff, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at Johns Hopkins University. MCS patients do not really fit the criteria to be labeled as having a disease of psychological origin. She lists and examines the studies which have claimed that MCS is of psychological origin and finds them to be seriously flawed. Dr. Davidoff also warns that real physiological symptoms are scored as psychological in typical psych tests.
