Are you or any others at work suffering from SBS?

Symptoms of SBS (Sick Building Syndrome)

Building occupants complain of symptoms such as:

• Headache
• Eye, nose, or throat irritation
• Dry cough; dry or itchy skin
• Dizziness and nausea
• Difficulty in concentrating
• Fatigue
• Sensitivity to odors
• Increased incidence of asthma attacks/appearance of asthma in non-asthmatics
• Personality changes such as rage/weeping/paranoia/depression
• Putative cases of bronchitis or pneumonia which do not respond to antibiotic treatment
• Symptoms resembling Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

This is a shortened list, as over 50 possible symptoms are known. It is possible for a dozen sick occupants to report a surprising array of individual symptoms which may be dismissed as unconnected. The key to discovery is the increased incidence of illnesses in general with onset or exacerbation within a fairly close time frame - usually within a period of weeks. Some sources will insist that for SBS to exist, these symptoms must disappear soon after the occupants go outside. However, this view discounts the lingering effects of various neuro-toxins, which may not clear up when the occupant leaves the building. In particularly sensitive individuals, the potential for long-term health effects cannot be overlooked.

Increase Indoor Air Quality

You can:

v  Rip out the carpet and replace it with tile or linoleum.

v  Remove the draperies.

v  Clean the windows, blinds, and everything else in sight.

v  Replace all the A/C filters.

v  Clean your A/C Ductwork.

v  Paint the walls & ceiling.

 

But the problem persists!

Have you ever thought the problem might be contaminants behind the scenes?

 

If you have old ceiling tiles made from porous materials you have a breeding ground for:

v MOLD

v Mildew

v DUST

v Bacteria

v Allergens

 

Cleaning or painting the visible side of the tiles does not do anything about the plenum (the area between the grid suspension system & the inner roofline). That’s where the A/C ducts & plumbing are hidden. If you have minor leaks in the A/C intakes, the air you are breathing may have passed right through & over those porous tiles picking up microscopic particles along the way. Minor leaks in both coupled with heat and humidity can create the ideal environment for all those contaminants that are making you & your employees (maybe even some customers) SICK.

Now there is an answer to this prevalent problem that is sweeping the globe.
