Instant Air Quality Updates

If instant air quality updates are crucial to you, there's now a service that
will send frequent updates to your email inbox. The South Coast Air Quality
Management District and the Environmental Protection Agency have teamed up to
create EnviroFlash, a free service that provides constantly updated air quality
information about your neighborhood.
It also provides tips for minimizing your own contribution to air pollution.

To participate, go to the EPA's EnviroFlash website http://www.enviroflash.info/
and subscribe. You can be notified on a daily basis or only when air pollution
reaches a peak.

Air quality readings and forecasts can still be obtained from the AQMD website,
or by phoning the automated voice recording system at 1-800-288-7664.

Psychiatric Presentations of Medical Illness

Comment: This is not directly about MCS, but since MCS and other chronic illnesses are often misdiagnosed as being psychiatric in origin, this may be useful information to ascertain whether a doctor is doing their investigative job to find the cause of an illness. It may also be valuable to those with certain symptoms as it lists potential causes to check for. It discusses the real medical illnesses which may be mistaken for a mental illness. It also discusses the complexities involved with obtaining medical care for this with co-occurring medical and mental illnesses. The bottom line is that medical illnesses are routinely misdiagnosed as being psychiatric.
