Air Health Global® provides both residential and commercial air quality testing. The air quality of your building can not only affect your health, but the health of your employees and anyone entering the building as well. Acute health or comfort-related effects that seem to be linked to the time spent in the building could be a sign of a larger issue. SCROLL DOWN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT (SBS) SICK BUILDING SYNDROME.
Sick Building Syndrome
The term "sick building syndrome" (SBS) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. The complaints may be localized in a particular room or zone, or may be widespread throughout the building. In contrast, the term "building related illness" (BRI) is used when symptoms of diagnosable illness are identified and can be attributed directly to airborne building contaminants.
A 1984 World Health Organization Committee report suggested that up to 30 percent of new and remodeled buildings worldwide may be the subject of excessive complaints related to indoor air quality (IAQ). Often this condition is temporary, but some buildings have long-term problems. Frequently, problems result when a building is operated or maintained in a manner that is inconsistent with its original design or prescribed operating procedures. Sometimes indoor air problems are a result of poor building design or occupant activities.
