There are so many more chemicals in use now than there was in the '30s, '40s, and '50s. And the population has exploded, so people are constantly jammed closer and closer together. People have developed allergies that they wouldn't necessarily have had back then.

And we're more aware of the problems because we have more sophisticated means of communication.
