A recent study of 11,154 office workers in Finland found that the most common work-related symptoms were an irritated, stuffy or runny nose, itching, burning eyes and fatigue. The study, published the January issue of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, also found that women were more likely to report symptoms than men, and that people with allergies and smokers had more symptoms than people without allergies and non-smokers.

Inadequate ventilation is one of the most common causes of indoor air quality problems, and one that has been more of a problem in new and newly renovated buildings.

Therefore, my advice: keep the conditioning-systems off, and from time to time, try to go and get a breathe of fresh air, during luch-break or even before coming to work! it really helps .

Yours faithfully,

Julie :)
