Buildings where for various reasons many occupants claim similar health problems, .
This is one of those late
20th century type ideas like
fibromyalgia that can't really be proven but many people suffer from.
Symptoms of people in sick buildings include:
Burning and watering eyes and nose
Shortness of breath upon mild exertion
Hoarseness, cough,
sore throat
Debilitating fibromyalgia (muscle cramps and joint pain)
headache
Chronic fatigue
Some people blame the
HVAC systems in these buildings, saying that when poorly installed they cause all sorts of chemicals to be released or promoting
fungal contamination.
Others still blame such
wacky shit as:
"Vibrations from the
air conditioning units themselves." (must be said in a plummy
Vincent Price tone)
Fluorescent lights
All in all people these days complain too much about their health and are always itching to
sue someone but
I am going to
go out on an limb here and say to hell with sick buildings, we should be living in
geodesic domes and possibly
yurts.
