For those in the early stages of chemical sensitivity, "fragrance free workplace" policies can be effective. However, as sensitivity increases, or if co-workers fail to comply, working from home becomes more and more attractive.

Thanks to the internet, most office jobs can now be performed from outside the office. PayPal is becoming widely accepted as a safe way to reimburse remote workers and freelancers.

Check the classifieds for "virtual," "remote," and "work from home" positions. For freelancers who write or produce media, the opportunities are everywhere.

Be aware that some virtual positions require certain internet bandwidth speeds which are simply not available in the rural areas that canaries prefer.

If you have otherwise reliable equipment, one alternative is to check the local Craigslist ads for work in your field. Small businesses often need remote help and can tolerate slower connection speeds. The crucial thing is simply to keep looking until you find a "win-win" situation for you and the employer.
