Sick Building Syndrome Overview- UK’S Indoor Sick Building Syndrome Formation Analysis

Abstract

Building-related illnesses pose a critical risk to public health and have consistently been a source of concern. The illnesses are collectively referred to as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and are used to elaborate on a situation in which the occupants of a house experience headaches discomfort-related effects or symptoms of air borne diseases that seems to be connected to the time spent in houses. Symptoms are many, but in general, occupants may experience throat, eye, and nose discomfort, as well as fatigue and, on occasion, dizziness. The increased prevalence of this syndrome has prompted substantial research. Although there is no known specific cause of SBS, some experts have concluded that indoor pollutants have a significant role in exacerbating the illness. The sources of indoor pollutants include biological contaminants, chemical contaminants, and particulate matter. These contaminants include bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and dust, respectively. This study will examine the role of indoor pollutants in Sick Building Syndrome symptoms, investigate the causes and effects, and recent progress in understanding and controlling SBS caused by these contaminants.And also outlines an overview of the UK’s SBS issues.
