Sick Building Syndrome

Results of the latest medical publications and research have brought to the fore a new form of litigation. The research and studies have shown that our everyday environment is contaminated in many instances and can cause sick building syndrome. This particular syndrome occurs when the building’s occupants experience severe health effects potentially related to the duration of their presence in the building. Some of these symptoms include:

• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Wheezing
• Respiratory problems
• Coughing
• Throat, eye, and nose irritations
• Other

Sick building syndrome sources can be broken down into two main categories:

Contaminants

• Off-gases from carpet padding containing a formaldehyde base or synthetic fiber fumes are the other common irritants.
• Tobacco smoke and business equipment off-gases add to the problem.
• Biological contaminants, including pollen, bacteria, mold, mildew, and dust mites, are high on the list of potential culprits.
• Airborne particulates from asbestos and dust from oxidizing lead paint dust are other hazardous pollutants.
• Although the list of contaminants is ever-growing, Radon (a natural gas) is the number one concern in the US and the second-leading reason for lung cancer.

HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems are also a cause of indoor air contamination.
