The newest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!

It's called “Environmental Disability.”

I’m speaking with Norwegian sociology researcher, Pia Aimée Tordly. Her research on Environmental Disability is informed by her experiences living with MCS.

When Pia first developed the illness in 2010, she lost her job, had move 10 times, and had no other option but to live in her vehicle for a time. Since then, she has completed two master’s degrees focused on Environmental Disability and MCS.

You’ll hear Pia explore:

· Her use of the term Environmental Disability.

· How health authorities in Norway mystify, psychologize, and stigmatize people with MCS.

· How officials largely dismiss Environmental Disability and downplay the need to include and support people with MCS.

· How the medical system increases the social isolation that many individuals with MCS experience.

· And how the medical authorities could to a better job responding to people with MCS.
