Building Related Illness (BRI) and Sick
Building Syndrome (SBS) are terms used
when acute health symptoms are experienced while occupying a
building or home. These symptoms may
include headache; eye, nose or throat irritation; frequent cough,
fatigue; concentration difficulties; increased allergy symptoms;
aggravation of asthma; rashes; frequent infections and/or
stomach problems. The gold standard in measuring the prevalence of
mold in any environment is to purchase a
mold test kit
from a reputable
air
testing equipment company who is associated with a qualified
laboratory. Often times these symptoms will go away when one leaves
the building.
Molds Have Often Been Implicated In...
- Building Related Illnesses
- Sick Building Syndrome!
Molds are well known to cause
respiratory problems...
Several recent epidemiological studies reported positive
relations between home humidity and respiratory distress of
the people who live there. Homes labeled as damp usually have higher levels of
fungi than others. Fungi are well known sources
for allergens that cause allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and
extrinsic allergic alveolitis (hypersensitivity pneumonitis)."
Verhoff, A. and H. Burge, June 1997. Annals of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology 78: 544-554.
And may be related to other illnesses...
A wide variety of symptoms have been blamed to the toxic effects
of fungi. Symptoms, like fatigue, nausea, and headaches, and
respiratory and eye irritation have been reported. Some of the
symptoms related to fungal exposure are non-specific, such as
discomfort, inability to concentrate, and fatigue.
