A CURE FOR THE SICK BUILDING?

Abstract

Air pollution indoors is fast becoming a major concern of those involved in the design and maintenance of modern buildings. But poor air quality is just one of several factors held responsible for causing symptoms of ‘sick building syndrome’, defined by the World Health Organization as irritation of the nose, throat and eyes, together with headaches and feelings of lethargy. Such symptoms can significantly lower the productivity and morale of a building's occupants. It is quite possible that indoor air pollution will become one of the major environmental issues of the next decade.
