ABSTRACT

Office health issues are often closely aligned with indoor air quality (IAQ) issues. A discussion of office air quality (OAQ) is found in Chapter 17 of this book, but some of the factors related to OAQ are helpful in understanding the effects on workers. A discussion of the factors related to sick building syndrome (SBS) and buildingrelated illnesses (BRI) is an integral part of detection and prevention of their occurrence. Many factors can affect the wellness of workers within an office building.
