![Page 26: EM101 Intro to Environmental Management and Policy EM101 Unit 5 Mid Term Review](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efe5503460f94c13260/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Indoor air pollution is also an issue of concern. A building with poor ventilation is often a cause of “sick building syndrome”
• TRUE
• FALSE
The term "sick building syndrome" (SBS) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. The complaints may be localized in a particular room or zone, or may be widespread throughout the building. In contrast, the term "building related illness" (BRI) is used when symptoms of diagnosable illness are identified and can be attributed directly to airborne building contaminants.
