Indoor
Air Quality Testing

It is believed that Sick Building Syndrome could be caused by a number of factors working in combination. These factors may include:

• Poor ventilation
• Biological contaminants (bacteria, fungi & viruses)
• Low humidity
• Airborne pollutants, such as dust, carpet fibres or mould spores
• Chemical pollutants, such as cleaning materials
• Ozone produced by photocopiers and printers
• Psychological factors, such as stress or poor staff morale

Air quality testing from Euro Environmental Ltd can help to identify and combat some of these factors and work towards reducing the risk of Sick Building Syndrome.

Actions and advice

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that employers should take the steps outlined below to investigate the possible causes of Sick Building Syndrome:

• Carry out an employee survey, the survey may identify obvious causes that can be easily fixed
• Check the general cleanliness of the building
• Check that cleaning materials are being properly used and stored
• Check the general operation of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system

Once the steps outlined above have been completed and the problem still persists it will be necessary to carry out a more detailed investigation of the workplace.
