Cleaner Indoor Air Campaign

IDA is excited to announce that we have remodeled the Cleaner Indoor Air Campaign (CIAC) with a new look! Tell your friends, family and groups! Tweet! www.CleanerIndoorAir.org

The Invisible Disabilities Association originally launched CIAC in 2006. CIAC provides information about Environmental Illnesses such as Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), Toxic Injury, Chemical Injury and/or Toxic Encephalopathy, as well as chemicals and fragrances in everyday products, resources and tools for people to spark changes in their own communities.

Indoor air and avoiding chemicals may be of interest, no matter the person’s health or diagnosis. CIAC is here to show support and understanding to those reporting these adverse health reactions, as well as make efforts to help loved ones learn how to better address and cope with these obstacles in order to restore relationships and end isolation from friends and family. However, we are not doctors nor scientists. We are not here to argue the definitions, causes or treatments for environmental conditions nor do we make claims as to cause and effect. None of our information is meant to be used as a diagnosis or health claim. Please seek the advice of a medical professional for advice and before starting or stopping any treatments.
