Bacteria and mold may lurk in office carpets, the heating system, and other places causing allergy and asthma symptoms, while vapors emitted by furniture and equipment add other symptoms. Other books focus on the home; finally here's a book to focus on the place adults spend most of their daily lives, the office. From ventilation systems or the lack thereof to breeding grounds for germs, MY OFFICE IS KILLING ME! THE SICK BUILDING SURVIVAL GUIDE doesn't just help identify problems; it tells what to do about them.

this is a great resource on sorting out what is going on in an office that you suspect is making you sick. the author gives a number of practical suggestions to determine what is causing the problems. It is remarkable how many buildings are built well and don't have much in the way of problems, there are so many problems that can go wrong. Some items may be obvious like water leaking in from a roof or window. the author is like a Sherlock Holmes sorting out what is the main cause and gives us readers suggestions to better determine ourselves how to deal with these tricky situations. This may be a useful book for anyone thinking they are getting sick at work or a good reference for physicians dealing with "chronically" ill patients. The book is packed full of real examples with pictures and solutions.
