Sick Building Syndrome occurs when people get sick as a result of spending time in a building or apartment. Sick Building Syndrome can cause health problems like allergies, cold symptoms, or headaches. It can also cause serious illnesses like respiratory infections, asthma, extreme allergies, and even cancer. Do you or a co-worker or another resident suffer from similar symptoms? Have doctors not been able to diagnose your condition?

A recent university study found that in every building that was surveyed, a large percentage of the occupants had experienced symptoms related to Sick Building Syndrome. Poor ventilation, lack of air movement, humidity, airborne pollution, bacteria, mold, biological contamination, and inappropriate temperature are factors that can lead to Sick Building Syndrome.

People who suffer from Sick Building Syndrome may have a claim against the builders, developers, property managers, or property owners of the building. These claims may focus on poor building design, inadequate maintenance, unsafe levels of toxic materials, or failure to meet EPA or building codes. A major focus may be the heating and air conditioning system. In addition, the selection of building materials is now well known to be a critical point in reducing the hazard of contamination and Sick Building Syndrome.
