Multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome (MCS) is believed to be a multiple organ disease caused by low-level exposure to chemical substances. It is characterized by central-nervous, gastrointestinal and irritative mucocutaneous symptoms. This phenomenon is not recognized in traditional medicine, opponents of the theory of a separate disease attributing all symptoms to psychopathological processes. Since this phenomenon is becoming increasingly prevalent in Western countries, appropriate strategies for its study need to be developed.
多重化学物质敏感综合征（MCS）被认为是一种由低水平接触化学物质引起的多器官疾病。其特征为中枢神经、胃肠道以及刺激性黏膜皮肤症状。传统医学并未认可这一现象，该疾病理论的反对者将所有症状都归因于精神病理过程。鉴于这种现象在西方国家日益普遍，需要制定适当的研究策略。
