What causes SBS? How do you deal with it?

The causes of SBS are still uncertain. Amongst the causes postulated, and for which some evidence exists, include man- made mineral fibers (MMMF), macromolecular organic chemicals (large size molecules produced by living things, such as protein molecules), volatile organic compounds (VOC's), and many others. Studies have shown that SBS is far more likely to occur in a building which has air-conditioning then in one which is naturally ventilated (operable windows).

What causes MCS? How do you deal with it?

Again, this is controversial. One study claimed to demonstrate that MCS doesn't exist and is really a manifestation of mental illness. However, the study was flawed. One hypothesis is that MCS usually begins with exposure to a single chemical and then spreads, that it is caused by a common physiological reaction to chemicals in general. Some recent work has tended to support this notion. This hypothesis suggests that the same mechanism that causes SBS, will, in the extreme, cause MCS.

So what's the deal with fire?

Burning Man: What is Burning Man?: FAQ
Everyone enjoys a camp fire to gather around or the light of a tiki torch to guide them back to camp at night but fire and open flame present a unique set of challenges on the playa. Wind is an ever-present aspect of the Black Rock desert and must be taken into consideration. Winds can blow sparks and embers out of fire barrels and blow them across the open playa great distances until they settle against something (tents, shade structures, camping gear, art works, etc).

Vanishing Twin Syndrome - Answers to Frequently Asked Questi...
Just as there is no clear attributable cause for most miscarriages, there aren't always reasons or explanations for the loss of a fetus in a multiple pregnancy. In some cases, the fetus is inviable due to chromosomal or placental abnormalities. Some studies suggest that because these abnormalities are more common in older women, Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs more often in mothers of advanced age.

What causes mental illness and what are some ways to deal with it?

FAQs
Mental illness has no single cause. In the past, people often blamed parents unfairly if a child in the family developed a mental illness. However, it is most likely several factors together that lead to mental illness. For example, recent evidence has shown that many of the major mental illnesses involve chemical imbalances in the body. Mental health professionals account for all three areas of a person's life when they design a plan for dealing with the illness. Genetics may play a part, too.

Accept any and all feelings the diagnosis may elicit, and try not to blame yourself: It would've been impossible for you to figure out a way to shield your child from autism completely. The next step is to arm yourself with all the facts about the disorder.

CalCars and PHEVs Frequently Asked Questions
The enthusiasm for ethanol ("flex-fuel" cars use E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) is welcome. But it works best if we use plug-in hybrids to power most of our miles electrically. Otherwise we'll need more ethanol than we can make sustainably. A combination solution: increasingly renewable electricity as the primary fuel and ethanol as the range extender.
