Symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) include:

• Headache

• Nausea

• Respiratory problems

• Skin, Eye, Nose, & Throat Irritations

• Dizziness

• Difficulty Concentrating

• Sensitivity to Odors

The U.S. Standard for Government Buildings requires that "Ultraviolet light (C band) emitters/lamps shall be incorporated downstream of all cooling coils and above all drain pans to control airborne and surface microbial growth and transfer. Applied fixtures/lamps must be specifically manufactured for this purpose."

"Ultraviolet radiation, properly integrated with the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, shows the most promise as a widely applicable means of air disinfection."
