In this insightful episode of Footprints & Impacts, we sit down with Dr. Caroline Barakat, an Associate Professor specializing in Environmental and Occupational Health at Ontario Tech University.
With expertise in air pollution, toxin exposure and public health, Dr. Barakat sheds light on the often-overlooked connections between environmental exposures and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
We explore the long-term health effects of pollution, how chemicals in everyday products contribute to health issues, and the systemic barriers faced by individuals with MCS. Dr. Barakat also discusses the importance of policy change, public awareness, and reducing toxic exposures to create safer environments for all.
This conversation is more important than ever as we approach RESILIENCE 2025: The First Annual International Conference on MCS, taking place virtually on May 1-2, 2025.
This groundbreaking event will bring together scientists, advocates, policymakers, and individuals with MCS to drive awareness, research and action.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
