 Headaches, upper respiratory irritation,
fatigue, nausea, and membrane irritation are
among the most common symptoms of Sick Building
Syndrome, (SBS). Sick building syndrome is a
term used to describe health symptoms that seem
to be linked to building occupancy without any
other diseases being detected. The causes of sick building syndrome
are not easily recognizable. Complaints and
symptoms are usually relieved after exiting the
building. A diagnosis is made based upon the
exclusion of other diseases and is determined
through sampling and testing of indoor chemical
and/or biological contaminants.
Indoor air pollutants can be caused by many sources
within a building. They include: combustion sources,
building materials, furnishings, cleaning products,
personal care products, poor air duct systems, and bioaerosols such as
bacteria and mold.
