In this insightful episode of Footprints & Impacts, we sit down with Dr. Caroline Barakat, an Associate Professor specializing in Environmental and Occupational Health at Ontario Tech University.
With expertise in air pollution, toxin exposure and public health, Dr. Barakat sheds light on the often-overlooked connections between environmental exposures and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
We explore the long-term health effects of pollution, how chemicals in everyday products contribute to health issues, and the systemic barriers faced by individuals with MCS. Dr. Barakat also discusses the importance of policy change, public awareness, and reducing toxic exposures to create safer environments for all.
This conversation is more important than ever as we approach RESILIENCE 2025: The First Annual International Conference on MCS, taking place virtually on May 1-2, 2025.
This groundbreaking event will bring together scientists, advocates, policymakers, and individuals with MCS to drive awareness, research and action.
