Risk Factors and Effects of Potential Substances Present in Indoor Air on Occupants' Health
Polluting emissions from building materials are among the construction “problems”, but when they occur along with other factors (particle allergens, cigarette smoke, gas exhaust, electromagnetic fields, etc.) together can lead to so-called syndrome “sick-building”.

description | Polluting emissions from building materials are among the construction “problems”, but when they occur along with other factors (particle allergens, cigarette smoke, gas exhaust, electromagnetic fields, etc.) together can lead to so-called syndrome “sick-building”. Why should we so intensely interested in the hazards present in our houses? The answer is: because the highest dose of exposure to toxic substances is right here in our houses or in the spaces in which we work. |
