TLDR
It was concluded that symptoms included in SBS are common in the general population, and of multifactorial origin related to both personal, occupational, and residential factors, and certain environmental exposures such as maternal smoking, the urban environment, VDU work, and volatile organic hydrocarbons from newly painted dwellings.Citations

Asthma and the indoor environment: the significance of emission of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds from newly painted indoor surfaces
TL;DR: Exposure to chemical emissions from indoor paint is related to asthma, and that some VOCs may cause inflammatory reactions in the airways is suggested, which suggests that the contri- bution of emissions from paint to indoor concentrations of formaldehyde and V OCs should be as low as possible.

Gender differences in office occupant perception of indoor environmental quality (IEQ)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the gender differences in occupants' perception on various aspects of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) by two lines of inquiry, and found that female occupants' satisfaction levels were consistently lower than male occupants for all fifteen IEQ factors (including thermal comfort, air quality, lighting, acoustics, office layout & furnishings, and cleanliness & maintenance) addressed in POE questionnaire, and the differences were statistically significant.

TL;DR: Comparison of prevalences of symptoms between the naturally ventilated and the other buildings showed a repeated pattern of nasal, eye, and mucous membrane symptoms with lethargy, dry skin, and headaches that are suggested to represent the sick building syndrome.

TL;DR: Continuous evaluation of irritation in eyes, nose, and throat showed significant correlation to exposure both at 5 and 25 mg/m 3 and the effect was acute and showed no signs of adaptation.
