Complaints about poor IAQ, associated  with acute symptoms such as mucous irritation, headaches and bad odor  occur frequently, particularly in the office environment, where  typical patterns of symptoms often occur, leading to the coining of  the term `Sick Building Syndrome'. \u003cbr\u003e  In the present book, internationally known experts address the  following issues:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe dynamics of the indoor  environment and strategies for indoor measurement \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003echemical and  microbiological pollution, important species, sources and detection  methods \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eeffects of indoor pollution, in particular \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003esensory  irritation, including odor \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eairway, eye and skin irritation by  organic indoor pollutants and their assessment \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eimmune effects,  including allergic sensitization \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003echemical hyper-responsiveness  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003econtrolled human reactions to organic pollutants \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ebuilding  investigation: approaches and results \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003esource characterization  and control \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ecriteria, norms and techniques in indoor air  pollution, and regulatory aspects. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   The complex, multifactorial  nature of sick building syndrome requires multidisciplinary  collaboration from very diverse fields. It is evident that  communication between researchers coming from very different areas,  all speaking their own language, is a difficult task. This book,  presenting as it does the state of the art on sick buildings and how  to cure them, is a sound foundation on which to build for the future.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792317036\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8088-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 378\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312099872908,"sku":"9780792317036","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792317036.jpg?v=1771518347","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792317036","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
