Just have her gobble down activated carbon every day as it absorbs 500 times its weight.  About a teaspoon per day, with a glass of water as a chaser.  Then you can get a free flowing negative ion generator and put it at her desk.

My incredulous reply:   Are you serious?  Activated charcoal for breakfast?  Thanks.  Kevin
 
Yes I do it all the time.  If I am around paint fumes and start to get a headache, I take carbon and it is gone in half an hour.  What do you think is in all those air and water filters?  Surely not the stuff that will remove chlorine and fluorine.  This is one of the first lines of defense in the emergency room for chemical inhalation and ingestion and acid or alkaline burns.  That is why ipecac is no longer recommended, because you burn the throat again during vomiting.  Instead you send something down like carbon to absorb and then vacuum it out and repeat.  There are lots of other things you can do also, but this is a first line of defense.
