Lynn Lawson

Lynn Lawson, a former medical writer, university instructor, and award-winning essayist, began writing about health and the environment after she realized how much her own health had been affected by toxic chemicals in her everyday surroundings. She served three years as the public relations chair of the Human Ecology Action League (HEAL), a national organization of people with environmental/health problems. Lynn has written a book, Staying Well in a Toxic World, in 1993, and a briefer milleum update. Currently she helps coordinate the Chicago area Environmental Illness (EI)/Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) support group. She has published their Canary News, a nationally distributed newsletter. For over five years Lynn joined Marjorie Fisher as co-editor of NOHA NEWS, NOHA's quarterly newsletter.
