Some cities, schools and other institutions have adopted fragrance-free policies and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to reduce chemical barriers and dangers in public places others still resist despite all the prevalence studies and research indicating that MCS is a serious threat to public health.

Use of crack cocaine has declined somewhat since the 1990s, but a 2001 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that much of the damage previously attributed to cocaine use may in fact be attributable to alcohol or tobacco that was also used by the mothers in question.
