The Nasty Culprits

Ever wondered what makes our buildings so bad?  Our symptoms usually occur because we spend such long periods of time inside sealed buildings, hence that's why they call it "Sick building".  Inside our sealed buildings there are loads of things which can make us feel unwell and these include

• Computer screens 
• Photocopiers
• Paint
• Chairs
• Air conditioning units
• Chipboard

All these things emit various chemicals into the air (such as formaldehyde and benzene), which can make even the most healthiest of people feel slightly the worse for wear!  Now add to this other problems associated with sealed buildings,  such as dry air conditioned air, and you’ll get the impression of how big the problem can be.  Perhaps you recognise some of the symptoms below? 

• Headaches
• Nausea
• Lack of concentration
• Stuffy nose
• Skin irritation
• Allergies
