Skin complaints in buildings with indoor climate problems
AbstractThe Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is a combination of both common and unspecific symptoms. Few studies have been published with detailed descriptions of clinical findings. One of the few dermatological references with a close relation to sick buildings is the so-called “low humidity occupational dermatoses.” Since 1982, an increasing number of outpatients from buildings with indoor climate problems have been investigated at the Department of Dermatology in Umeå, Sweden, The most common findings regarding work-related diseases have been seborrheic dermatitis, facial erythema, periorbital eczema, rosacea, urticaria, and “itching folliculitis.” It is suggested that physical, chemical, and psychological factors are of importance in producing these symptoms.
