Summary

Use of the general term "sick building syndrome" to describe the various forms of building-related, or supposedly building-related illness is no longer valid. It is used to describe conditions where the cause is not determined. Such illness needs to be more scientifically defined in terms of the symptoms and their probable origin. A.R.T.
