Abstract
In the last decades public health problems caused by indoor air pollution, such as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), have been drawing strong public concerns. This study aims at investigating the indoor environment quality (IEQ) and people’s complaints in office buildings in Egypt. Indoor environment parameters including air temperature, relative humidity, air speed, TVOC, formaldehyde, Benzene, and Toluene were measured at two office buildings, which located in Giza, and Port Said. The study was done during March 2017-May 2017. Occupants’ perception on indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and SBS symptoms were surveyed by questionnaire.
High TVOCs concentration, should be of health effect concern. It was indicated that indoor air quality (IAQ) may lead to SBS symptoms in office building in Egypt.
