Furthermore, it is typical to SBS, that the complaints or Symptoms are of multifactorial origin. This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge of factors which have been identified äs potential contributing causes of complaints, in particular of Chemical and microbiological pollution, and of effects linking them to SBS Symptoms such as sensory irritation including odour, airway, eye and skin Irritation, allergic sensitisation, other immune effects, and chemical hyper-responsiveness. The book has been written for experts who are actively involved in investigating and preventing SBS and coming from a wide ränge of disciplines such äs environmental chemistry and microbiology, environ-mental and occupational hygiene and medicine, building sciences and ventilation/air conditioning. It will also be useful for people involved in research planning and in environmental regulation." Contents: "Preface vii List of Contributors ix A.
