Can each individual be tested for exposure to toxic air pollutants?
I have had health problems for the past year and wonder if it is due to air quality at work-Margaret , Massachusetts Office building/work-related health problems are quite common. Indeed, if I did a survey in almost any office building, I would expect anywhere from 5 to 20% of the building occupants to experience symptoms that are related to their building environment or work activities. There are a variety of causal factors for building/work-related symptoms or health problems. Illness symptoms among occupants of office buildings can be distinguished from other health problems from an examination of illness patterns. Typically symptoms are of a respiratory type (congestion, runny nose, sore throat, cough), irritation-type (red or itchy eyes, irritated skin) or of a general nature (headache, fatigue, malaise). These characteristic building-type symptoms occur often or always, develop within an hour or two of entering the building, resolve within an hour or two of leaving the building,
