Abstract :

Abstract: Pollutant generated from indoor which  could  not dilute due  to isolated  building design would  affect comfort and common acute  health complaints called Sick Building Syndrome (SBS).  Cross sectional study conducted at Office A and B of X Company to identify SBS,  personal factors and workplace characteristic to 44 samples chosen by stratified random sampling. Physical factor (temperature, relative humidity, total dust) and CO2  directly measured as independent variables. Temperature and  total dust do  comply the  requirement but  CO2,  relative humidity, and  dCO2  did not.  A multivariate logistic  regression resulted older people have  less  risk to have  SBS  symptoms (eye  irritation p = 0.040; OR = 1.169  and eye  tiredness p = 0.005; OR = 1.267)  but tend  to develop more  symptoms than 2 (SBS  case) (p =0.009; OR = 1.274).  The absence of partition reduce the risk of having SBS  symptoms (eye  irritation p = 0.012; OR = 30.30 and eye  tiredness p = 0.006; OR = 18.87). More difference of carbon dioxide concentration of indoor compared to outdoor (dCO2) increase the risk of having SBS  case (p = 0.024; OR = 1.011). A multivariate linier regression resulted that the number of symptoms (PSI) affected by age  with additional  9% decreasing of PSI at each increasing of age. SBS  significantly affected by increasing age,  the absence of partition as protective factors and increasing dCO2 as risk factors. Indoor air quality control could be conducted by operating windows, partition modification and early detection of SBS  at annual health examination.
