Did you know that 40-75% of patients experience unspecific symptoms that cannot be adequately attributed to any organic disease? The diagnosis and prevention of such health disorders is a challenge that is at the heart of clinical environmental medicine. <\/p>\n\n
The practice of environmental medicine deals with the effects of environmental factors on health and the environment. The individual sensitivity of patients plays a decisive role here. The aim is to develop patient-specific treatment plans using specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This takes into account physical, biological and chemical noxious agents that can cause both physical and mental illness. <\/p>\n\n
The importance of clinical environmental medicine has become increasingly clear in recent years, particularly due to the rising incidence of diseases such as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) or sick building syndrome (SBS). Regular diagnosis and prevention are essential in order to detect toxic substances in body fluids and tissues and initiate appropriate measures in good time. <\/p>\n\n
