Dear Ren: just found this info. that may be helpful to you about Building-Related Illnesses and Occupational Asthma. You may be able to show this to your boss/personnel office at work re: the lysol. If inhaling it makes your lungs close up, you may have cause to file a complaint; best yet, get the stuff banned from the workplace and a non-toxic alternative used. It's best to use a non-confrontational approach. When I was working, a nurse who had asthma and I, with my MCS, were able to get the floor cleaner changed to a less toxic one because we were both getting sick from it. If any of your co-workers are affected by it, too, this is all the better for your case. Blessings, Liora



Building-Related Illnesses
http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec05/ch057/ch057e.html


Building-related illnesses (BRIs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders whose etiology is linked to the environment of modern airtight buildings. Such buildings are characterized by sealed windows and dependence on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for circulation of air. Most cases occur in nonindustrial office buildings but can occur in apartment buildings, single family dwellings, schools, museums, and libraries.

BRIs can be specific or nonspecific.

Specific BRIs: Specific BRIs are those for which a link between building-related exposure and illness is proven. Examples include Legionella infection (see Gram-Negative Bacilli: Legionella Infections), occupational asthma (see Environmental Pulmonary Diseases: Occupational Asthma), hypersensitivity pneumonitis (see Interstitial Lung Diseases: Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis), and inhalational fever.

This article suggests removing the sensitive person from the work environment; my solution is remove the irritating substance from the work environment and the workers' health will be safeguarded!!
