Sick Building Syndrome sources

A case in which the toxin or appropriate metabolite is detected in urine, serum, or plasma, or detection of the specific toxin in environmental samples unless there could be a local source of the toxin (e.g., the molds that produce mycotoxins have been found in some residential and industrial settings, and the toxins have been implicated in some cases of "sick building" syndrome).

This book discusses the sources and health effects of various Indoor air pollutants that cause "sick building syndrome." and provides mitigation measures for commercial builcSngs. 

Possible Sources of lAQ/Sick Building Syndrome Problems in General and Some Solutions... 

Controls vary with the problem. Chlorination and other chemical treatments commonly used for water-based problems in HVAC equipment may not be effective. Designated smoking areas have not always removed contaminants from the general office environment. When contaminants build up as a result of an inadequate supply of outdoor air, likely sources of contaminants for sick building syndrome are the HVAC systems. When located, the specific causes require removal at the source.
