Sick Building Syndrome

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) refers to a situation where occupants of a building experience unexplained health issues that seem linked to time spent there. Common symptoms include headaches, fatigue, respiratory problems, and eye irritation. These symptoms often improve when individuals leave the building. SBS can be caused by factors like poor ventilation, chemical pollutants, mold, or inadequate maintenance. While no specific illness is diagnosed, the environmental factors and building conditions contribute to discomfort and health concerns among its occupants. Addressing these issues often involves improving air quality, increasing ventilation, and ensuring regular maintenance.
