Keeping Buildings Healthy : How to Monitor and Prevent Indoor Environmental Problems, Hardcover by O'Reilly, James T. (EDT), ISBN 0471292281, ISBN-13 9780471292289, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Primarily geared to building managers and owners, th approaches the problem of building-related illness from legal, medical, behavioral, industrial hygiene, and engineering perspectives. The authors contend that many indoor-environment-related health claims made by employees may in fact be instances of what they call "mass psychogenic illness." Thus, while it does contain information about possible causes and treatment of actual instances of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), the bulk of th deals with response to worker complaints, addressing such concerns as the state of indoor health litigation, media relations, and implications for insurance.
