Abstract

Background & Objectives: Air quality in the workplace, personal factors, and work-related factors are the most important risk factors for SICK BUILDING SYNDROME (SBS). While several epidemiological studies have assessed the prevalence of SBS among office workers, less attention has been paid to the relation between SBS and environmental parameters. The present study evaluated the relationship between SBS and indoor ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS of two office buildings.Methods: : In this cross- sectional study, all workers of two office buildings of the Petroleum Industry Health Organization were examined in terms of SBS. A validated questionnaire was used to determine the prevalence of SBS and its relationship with personal and ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. Indoor ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS including noise, light, humidity, air velocity, temperature, and CO2 concentration were also measured with appropriate calibrated instruments.Results: There were significant relationships between CO2 concentration (as an air quality factor) and some SBS symptoms including nausea, headache, nasal irritation, shortness of breath, and dry throat. Significant relationships were also observed between noise exposure and both headache and dizziness. Moreover, light intensity was significantly related with dry skin, eye pain, and malaise.Conclusion: SBS symptoms were more prevalent among women than in men. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS and INDOOR AIR QUALITY of office buildings had major effects on SBS symptoms.
