Pall, Martin. Elevated Nitric Oxide/Perox-ynitrite Theory of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Central Role of N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptors in the Sensitivity Mechanism. Environmental Health Perspectives September 2003 111(12) 1461— 1464. www.ehponline.org/members/200 3/5935/5935.html. 

Dr. Martin Pall of Washington State University uncovered the neurological biochemical processes that underlie MCS, and demonstrated a link to processes that are also relevant to chronic fatigue syndrome. He described the increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier as a result of exposure to certain substances and as a result of increased peroxynitrite level. The more this barrier disintegrates, the more chemical substances are able to directly enter the brain and the more sensitive a person becomes. Increased levels of nitric oxide in the body in turn influence the enzymes responsible for breaking down chemical substances (P450 enzyme). He published an article about his model, tide Elevated Nitric Oxide/Per-oxynitrite Theory of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Central Role of N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptors in the Sensitivity Mechanism, in Environmental Health Perspectives.

MCS affects multiple, often unpredictable and seemingly unrelated, body sites. Different explanations have been proposed to explain this phenomenon. These are discussed here under the headings of the researchers who are their primary proponents William J. Rea, Iris R. Bell, and Martin L. Pall.
