Specifically, the effects of the acoustic environment on humans, the effects of odors, and the impacts of environmental toxins and electromagnetic radiation and fields on humans are discussed. Environmental syndromes such as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Sick Building Syndrome, and Electrosensitivity and -sensibility are also addressed.
