Abstract EN
Sick-building syndrome is one of the growing health problems.
It includes headache, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, inability to concentrate, objectionable odors, nausea, dizziness, chest tightness,….
etc.
Most sick-building problems are caused by poor indoor air quality, excessive background noise, chemical emissions from artificial building and furnishing materials, chemical and biological contaminants, and inappropriate lighting systems.
To reduce the health problems associated with sick-building syndrome, designers and occupants should understand the sick-building syndrome, their cause, and how to deal with it.
This paper offers information about SBS, and its reflection on the houses of Riyadh city.
A general picture about the common sources of SBS and their effects, are discussed with some details by using a survey questionnaire.
Especially, Riyadh city has a dusty weather, where dust contributes strongly in sick building syndromes.
