Peggy Wolff

Healthy People, Healthy Places is designed to be part of the solution to the problem of environmentally induced illnesses.  This site will introduce you to Peggy Wolff, an environmental health nurse, and will provide you with a wealth of resources along the way.

Problem:  Harmful chemicals in our everyday lives are causing untold environmental illnesses.

What is an environmentally induced illness?

An environmentally induced illness is any health condition that is caused or exacerbated by exposure to toxic chemicals.  Some examples of environmentally induced illnesses are allergies, asthma, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS).

Solution:  Peggy Wolff's Environmental Health Counseling.

What is environmental health counseling?

Environmental health counseling blends personal health with environmental health.  Personal health, one's inner milieu, includes the physical, mental, emotional and most importantly, the spiritual aspects of oneself.  Environmental health, one's outer milieu, includes all physical spaces in which one spends time: home, school, workplace, church, even the car.

There are three main groups of people who most frequently use the services of an environmental health counselor.  First are people who have identified either their homes or their places of work as adversely affecting their health. Second are people who have been diagnosed with environmentally related illnesses such as allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue, or chemical sensitivities.  The third group includes people who are sick and don't know why.
