Under the name "Ecological Room," one of the hospitals in Hamburg has equipped two hospital rooms with facilities to reduce the amount of harmful substances and harmonized them for the special needs of patients with MCS syndrome (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) and patients with civilization diseases.
