Finding F-1214

“Women reported high levels of complaints related to mucosal and general symptoms from exposure to the dust level indoors.”

Gender, airborne chemical monitoring, and physical work environment are related to indoor air symptoms among nonindustrial workers in the KlangValley, Malaysia (2013). Therapeutics and clinical risk management. Page 1. CKB 6813

Structure

Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Outcome: Sick building syndrome
Population: office workers
Setting: office, MY
Study design: cross-sectional study of 200 office workers in randomly selected nonindustrial buildings in the Klang Valley, Malaysia: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds, dust as PM10, temperature, relative humidity and air movement measured in the workplace against indoor air symptoms from a modified MM040NA questionnaire, analysed with linear and logistic regression adjusted for smoking, chronic illness, age, gender, job category, new furniture, new partition and workstation (class 4)
Caveat: a stated direction in the abstract without a number; the study measures dust as PM10
