Ventilation system, indoor air quality, and health outcomes in Parisian modern office workers.

Abstract:

:A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the effect on health of exposure to different types of ventilation, taking indoor environmental measurements (IEMs) of major contaminants and aeroallergens into account. Three buildings ventilated with heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), fan coil units (FCUs), and natural ventilation were selected. One thousand one hundred forty-four workers answered health questionnaires. After adjusting for potential confounders, HVAC and FCU systems were related to a slightly higher risk of nonspecific symptoms (compared with natural ventilation), short-term throat irritation, work-related nasal discharge, nasal blockage on awakening, migraine, and usual coughing induced by cold air. Studying the potential effects of environmental contaminants and aeroallergens on health outcomes, taking the floor and type of ventilation into account, did not explain the observed excess of nonspecific symptoms.
