High impact information on Sick Building Syndrome

Serum myeloperoxidase and sick building syndrome [1].
BACKGROUND: Formaldehyde is associated with sick building syndrome (SBS), a set of diffuse and irritative symptoms predominantly involving the eyes and the respiratory tract [2].
Symptoms related to the sick building syndrome in a general population sample: associations with atopy, bronchial hyper-responsiveness and anxiety [3].
Rx for SBS. Suspect sick building syndrome? Get a diagnosis from the experts [4].

Chemical compound and disease context of Sick Building Syndrome

To place their work in a broader context, a spectrum of workplace disorders is described that encompasses sick building syndrome, building-related illness, neurotoxic disorders, and mass psychogenic illness [6].

Anatomical context of Sick Building Syndrome
