What is Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) associated with?

  1. A particular indoor environment that appears unhealthy

  2. An individual’s personal health history

  3. Aging infrastructure of buildings

  4. External environmental conditions

The correct answer is: A particular indoor environment that appears unhealthy

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is primarily associated with a particular indoor environment that appears unhealthy. This condition is characterized by occupants experiencing a range of health complaints that seem to be linked to the time spent in a specific building, but these symptoms typically improve or disappear when the individual leaves that environment. The indoor air quality, presence of allergens, inadequate ventilation, and exposure to chemicals or pollutants can all contribute to the development of SBS. While factors like a person's health history, aging infrastructure, and external environmental conditions can impact overall health and comfort, the defining element of Sick Building Syndrome centers on the immediate indoor environment itself. This focus on the specific attributes of a building's indoor setting is central to understanding how SBS manifests and is recognized.
