Sick of work or work making you sick?
A recent study by the Indonesian Mass Health Expert Association (IAKMI) and PT Bayer Indonesia revealed that 50 percent of people who work in office buildings in Jakarta suffer from what is known as “Sick Building Syndrome”. Causes of Sick Building Syndrome are inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants from indoor sources, chemical contaminants from outdoor sources and biological contaminants. Jakarta has been included in the World Health Organization list of the world’s most polluted cities for years - it would seem being inside is no safer. (The Jakarta Post, March 4)
