Sick Building Syndrome?

The term Sick Building Syndrome is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute negative physical and mental effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a contaminated area when no specific illness or cause can be identified.

People in sick buildings complain of symptoms such as headaches, eye, nose, or throat irritations, dizziness, nausea, difficulty in concentrating, along with physical and mental fatigue.

The reason the home or building may be suspected is that most complainants report relief soon after leaving the infected enclosure. Although not all the reasons for SBS are known, it is logically assumed that the negative health effects of sick building syndrome can be at least partly attributed to various mold, bacterial, voc’s and viral contamination.

Today because of technology, people are living longer healthier lives. Thirty years ago when people were dying in their early 60’s we assumed it was old age. Today people are living healthy lives well into their 70's, 80's, 90's and over 100 years old. It is believed that there are more people over the age of 100 than at any other time in history, at least since record keeping has been recorded.

Today we know mold, bacteria, voc’s, asbestos, lead, radon and other contaminates that were taken for granted over the years are in reality the cause of many of the health issues that people are experiencing today and will experience in the future. Don’t let your home or your ignorance make you sick or cut your life short.
