What is Sick Building Syndrome?
When a building has SBS the occupants typically experience acute health complications and/or feel highly uncomfortable when inside the building itself or specific room or area. The complaints may be localized in a particular room or zone or may be widespread throughout the entire building depending on the levels of contamination. The health related indicators of SBS include but are not limited to- headaches, eye, nose and throat irritations, dry cough, dry or itchy skin, dizziness, nausea, difficulty in concentrating, fatigue, and sensitivity to odors. In most cases, after exiting the contaminated building or area, occupants begin to feel better. In extreme cases though, effects can be long lasting.
Sick building syndrome can happen to any home or building, and it can be because of numerous reasons. We typically see upticks after a lot of heavy rain and wet weather and have personally witnessed what can happen to homes, large residential buildings, commercial structures, and even public places after extremely wet weather and flooding. In many residential neighborhoods, complexes, and multi unit buildings where multiple neighbors and tenants have mold removed, it frequently come back due to being in a close proximity to another contaminated unit or building
This is the reason as to why people, building managers, and officials alike need to take these types of complaints seriously as they can spiral out of control very quickly. There are also plenty of news stories about toxic mold being found in apartment complexes, schools, and even in courthouses to confirm mold is in fact harmful to your health.
Now lets think about flooding; the chemical plants and industrial complexes, flooded automobiles and gas tanks, overflow drainage and retention ponds filled with who knows what, sewage treatment facilities, etc. Mold, mold spores and toxins, contaminated rotting materials, dust, pollen, wind, coupled with existing environmental conditions can all contribute to a buildings tenants succumbing sick building syndrome.
That is why it is even more important to deal with mold along with any other contaminated hazards, even to as far as reporting them as soon you see them; especially if you live in close quarters to other units, homes, or buildings.
