The Problem[]

The very existence of "environmental syndromes" (more properly Environmental Diseases) is disputed[2]

Environmental Diseases (ENVDs), if they do exist, involve being chronically exposed to toxic environmental chemicals as well as radiation, pathogens, allergens, and psychological stress.

It doesn't help that there is the similarly worded "Environmental dependency syndrome" which in GURPS terms would be a mental disadvantage.

On a practical level GMs should consider this a cinematic advantage that is so poorly defined that Immunity to Disease be used instead.
