Environmental Illness - Who to Call

If you believe you have an environmental illness, first consider your symptoms. If your symptoms are severe (for example, you are having trouble breathing), you have ingested household chemicals, or you fear you may have a carbon monoxide leak in your home, call your Poison Control Center immediately. Otherwise, contact:

  • A family medicine doctor.
  • A doctor who specializes in occupational medicine and environmental medicine.
  • A doctor who specializes in internal medicine or pediatrics.
  • A regional clinic that is part of the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC).

You may find it helpful to create a written exposure history to take to your doctor, to help identify the cause of your illness.
