Abstract

The 21st century is the era of civilization transformation from the industrial society towards the information society. One of the main features of the information society is spending most of their time to work in a building with the aids of artificial ventilation. However, most of these societies are evolving a mindset in which the job done in the space of an office building is a job that does not have risks as well as the most safe and comfortable working environment from negative influences. In fact, previous studies have shown that the quality of air in a space is a significant factor that can influence the effectiveness of the quality of work. These include declining productivity and damages to material and equipment and also impact on the health of workers. This study discusses the effects of indoor air pollution on human health in the workplace environment. Therefore, this paper also discusses the contaminants in the air that contribute to sick building syndrome. The study found that indoor air pollution is a significant adverse effect on the health of workers in the building.
