How to maintain inclusive friendships when someone has chemical sensitivities

Our book club meets at different people's houses but one member has severe chemical sensitivities that affect her breathing and we keep accidentally triggering reactions with cleaning products or candles, and now she's stopped coming and we don't know how to include her without making everyone else feel restricted.
