Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)

Over the last 30 years, the introduction of new technologies & synthetic materials, dramatic increases in the number of white-collar workers, and "tighter" energy-conserving building methods & materials are all factors that could have a bearing in the significant rise in complaints of SBS, or "Sick Building Syndrome." SBS is a generic term used to describe a wide array of symptoms that may include nose, throat or eye irritation, dizziness, headaches and/or difficulty concentrating. If these symptoms are reported by a number of people working in the same building, cannot be associated with a definite cause, and are relieved once leaving the building or area, then SBS may be suspected. Typically, one or more workers will complain of one or more of these symptoms, which can ultimately lead to the need for an investigation by qualified professionals.
