Citing the dangers from fragrances, students at California State University, Stanislaus want to make the campus fragrance-free. If the school administration grants the students’ request they will join Portland State University, Cecil College in Maryland, USA and the University of Calgary in Canada as fragrance-free institutions. The students’ claim states that ‘musk-scented colognes or citrus-scented perfumes can be as dangerous as second-hand smoke.”  

It is believed that fragrances can have adverse effects on health and make life miserable for persons who have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Scientists have stated that MCS can result in migraines, asthma, nausea, dizziness and a host of other symptoms.
