Sick building syndrome  ( SBS ) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. SBS is also used interchangeably with "building-related symptoms[,]" which orients the name of the condition around patients rather than a “sick” building. A 1984  World Health Organization  (WHO) report suggested up to 30% of new and remodeled buildings worldwide may be subject of complaints related to poor  indoor air quality . Sick building causes are frequently pinned down to flaws in the   heating, ventilation, and air conditioning   (HVAC) systems. Other causes have been attributed to contaminants produced by   outgassing   of some types of building materials,   volatile organic compounds   (VOC),   molds   (see   mold health issues ), improper exhaust ventilation of   ozone   (byproduct of some office machinery), light industri

Electrical Safety In the United States, on average 400 people die from electrocution and 4,400 are injured each year. Most of these deaths and injuries can be prevented. May is National Electric Safety Month, so we want to take this opportunity to remind you of 10 ways to avoid electrical safety hazards: Never handle electric appliances with wet hands.  Never use electric appliances in wet or damp conditions unless the appliances are specifically rated for this use. Protect electric outlets close to sources of water.  Electric outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and garages should be ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) outlets to reduce the chance of electric shock. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) can also be added to enhance protection from fires.
