Les hypersensibilités environnementales peuvent survenir lorsque des personnes deviennent sensibles à des substances ou à des facteurs de la vie quotidienne et à des niveaux bien en deça de ce qui est considéré comme acceptable par des gens normaux. Les réactions d'hypersensibilité peuvent être déclenchées par des produits parfumés, des produits de nettoyage, des détergents, des peintures, des produits dérivés du pétrole, de la fumée de cigarette, des pesticides, des animaux domestiques, des plantes, des solvants, des radiations électromagnétiques, des moississures, de la nourriture ou des additifs. 4, record 1, French, - hypersensibilit%C3%A9%20environnementale
