Summary

A major part of the work was a self-administered questionnaire whose formulation was adapted for the Australian situation. Parameters for indoor air quality were measured, including both physical and microbiological factors. Correlations were tested, using a commercial statistical software package, between perceptions about air quality, symptoms, mental health and air quality measurements. The investigative methods have to date been tested in three fairly large workplaces with approximately 500 occupants. The authors' experiences with the methods used, including advantages and drawbacks, are discussed and conclusions drawn.
