What
is a sick building? |
 |
| As
our buildings and homes became more energy efficient
and better insolated and we started to use synthetic
rather than natural building materials, the quality
of the air we breathe began to deteriorate. Research
by the EPA and other experts states that there
may be over 100 toxic fumes and gases present
in our indoor atmosphere. In extreme cases, places
where we work & live have such high levels
of these toxins that people become physically
ill, suffering from a variety of acute medical
and comfort problems such as:
headaches
fatigue
nausea
sore throat
eye irritation
dry or itchy skin
dizziness
difficulty in concentrating
|
|
|
| When a person leaves the building,
these symptoms will disappear. This combination
of ailments has been given the name Sick Building
Syndrome (SBS). SBS causes a high level of absenteeism,
lower productivity, and a greater employee turnover.
