@jenniferhunter I stand corrected regarding the absence of information about fragrances and the American Lung Association website information. I looked through their website more closely this morning. It's not easy to trip across but I did find brief mention of fragrances on their employee wellness and at-home pages at https://www.lung.org/support-and-community/corporate-wellness/create-a-lung-healthy-work.html and https://www.lung.org/our-initiatives/healthy-air/indoor/at-home/keep-pollution-out-home.html. The problem remains that a person really has to be intentionally seeking information on their website, or any website...however, the general public that isn't affected by fragrances and other chemicals probably wouldn't likely be motivated to search for information without good reason. I don't recall ever seeing a public service announcement on TV about this, although a PSA might be a more passive way to educate the public. Maybe those of us who are affected buy sensitivities to fragrances and other chemicals need to let the American Lung Association and other interested organizations know that we need their help to get the word out to the general public.
