Finding Environmentally Safe Housing: Scott Daniska

The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast

Episode 46 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!
https://www.chemicalsensitivitypodcast.org/

It’s called: “Finding Environmentally Safe Housing.”

I’m speaking with Scott Daniska.
Scott Daniska, an independent researcher with a background in biology and genomics who has MCS. After five years trying to rent safe apartments in Massachusetts, he currently lives in Connecticut on the east coast of the U.S.

We talk about what is one of the greatest challenges that people with MCS face -- finding environmentally safe housing. It’s something Scott has grappled with and has shared insights about on his YouTube channel.
