Are YOU working in a TOXIC OFFICE? A Re-Look into SICK BUILDING & OFFICE!Abdul Shukor
You are earning a salary, working very hard indeed but you may not realise that you are working in a TOXIC Office! Well, that goes the dream of living happily ever after. Anyone can be affected by SICK BUILDING SYNDROME (SBS), but office workers in modern buildings without opening windows and with mechanical ventilation or air conditioning are most at risk. This risk increases if they are employed in routine work that involves using display screen equipment. WOMEN appear to be more likely to develop the symptoms of SBS than men. However, this may be due to more women being employed in offices rather than a higher susceptibility.
Possible risk factors for SBS may include:
- poor ventilation
- low humidity
- high temperature or changes in temperature throughout the day
- airborne particles, such as dust, carpet fibres or fungal spores
- airborne chemical pollutants, such as those from - cleaning materials or furniture, or ozone produced by photocopiers and printers
- physical factors, such as electrostatic charges
- poor standards of cleanliness in the working environment
- poor lighting that causes glare or flicker on visual display units (VDUs)
- improper use of display screen equipment
- psychological factors, such as stress or low staff morale
There can be advantages in employers being pro-active about SBS and asking individual workers informally about any symptoms they may have.
If there are credible reports of symptoms, a survey should be arranged in a way that tries to avoid employee discussion, which can distort the findings.
A simple survey about SBS should cover the frequency of symptoms and whether they improved outside of the building.
Why air testing is important at your workplaceLee Blanchard
Ever done a building air tightness testing? Wondering what’s that? Most working professional on an average spend 18-20 hours a day in confined places such as in office, home and gym. Little do we all realize that the air in such places can easily become polluted leasing to various health issues! Moreover those already affected by asthma and other such lung diseases might bear the brunt of the harmful effects. In this article we will discuss the important aspects regarding proper airtightness in buildings.
Indoor Air Quality in this part of the world is of major concern. Lack of natural ventilation resulting out of the closed doors and windows and with the constant air conditioning attribute to the poor IAQ. Our product helps improve the Indoor Air Quality by destroying the allergen content in the air, that are prevelant due to the mentioned evident reasons.

Unit Lesson
An important part of the industrial hygienist’s job is to recognize hazards in the workplace. Occupational
hazards can be divided into three basic categories: chemical, biological, and physical. We will be studying
chemical and biological hazards during this unit. Recognizing chemical hazards requires the industrial
hygienist to have at least a basic understanding of chemistry and biology, including the sub-science
of microbiology.
Chemical hazards are typically divided into two categories based on their chemical state. The two categories
are vapors/gases and aerosols. In the occupational setting, it is more common that the terms particle or
particulate are used. It is fairly easy to understand the differences between gases/vapors and aerosols. What
may be more difficult is to understand the difference between a gas and a vapor.
The difference between a gas and a vapor depends on the state of the chemical at normal (sometimes called
standard) temperature and pressure (NTP or STP). A gas is in the gaseous state at NTP, while a vapor is in
the liquid state at NTP with some vapors being produced. The concentration of the vapors being produced
depends on the vapor pressure of the chemical. Gases have vapor pressures that are high enough that they
do not exist as a liquid at NTP. The higher the vapor pressure is for a chemical, the more likely a vapor will be
produced. One important thing to remember is that vapor pressure is temperature dependent. As the
temperature increases, the vapor pressure of a chemical will also increase, increasing the volatility of the
compound. This can be very important for an industrial hygienist in recognizing chemical hazards. Thus, if the

Do you want to be a hero? Industrial hygienists do it everyday in the workplace. They protect workers from health hazards that include a variety of dust, mists, fumes, gases, and vapors by testing the atmosphere in which they breath and evaluate the exposure against standards and guidelines. They are interested in examining all of the potential toxins in the air, on building surfaces, those that can be ingested or a combination thereof. It's not an easy task. Industrial hygienist need to talk with many stakeholders in finance, engineering, human resources, public policy, medicine, law, etc. The idea is to identify the potential health hazards that may cause harm to workers, unsuspecting public, and the environment. Many of these hazards involve chemicals, biological and physical agents, radiological exposure, human factors and ergonomics, indoor air quality, toxicology and epidemiology, handling and storage, transportation, research and development, and many other considerations. So if you want to be a hero, contact your local section of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. They can provide the information that you will need for a career pathway from academia to senior business professional.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
