Le terme «Sick Building Syndrome» (SBS ou Syndrome des Bâtiments Malades), utilisé depuis les années 1970, recouvre une symptomatologie complexe, non spécifique, atypique et indiscutablement liée à l'occupation des locaux. Sa définition très large traduit bien le caractère multifactoriel du problème, qui touche entre 10 et 30% des occupants d'un bâtiment malsain ou «malade». Les facteurs associés au SBS sont multiples: ambiants (chimiques, biologiques, climatiques, environnementaux), personnels, sociaux, organisationnels. Les symptômes les plus fréquemment observés sont: irritation et obstruction nasale; sécheresse et irritation de la muqueuse des yeux, de la gorge, de la peau; manifestations générales (migraine, léthargie, état de fatigue conduisant à un manque de concentration). Des nausées, un changement dans la perception des odeurs et du goût, toux et sifflements respiratoires sont parfois également signalés. Les plaintes sont essentiellement d'inconfort et les symptômes ne sont pas liés à une menace grave pour la santé physiologique, du moins à court terme. 4, record 2, French, - syndrome%20des%20b%C3%A2timents%20malsains

Immeuble, tour, édifice «à bureaux» sont des spécifiques : ce syndrome se rencontre aussi dans des milieux qui ne sont pas des bureaux, comme par exemple les hôpitaux. Cependant, comme ce syndrome est la plupart du temps relié aux immeubles à bureaux, ces termes recouvrent, par le fait même, parfaitement bien la notion. Le terme plus général «bâtiment» est plus approprié que celui d'«édifice» ce dernier possédant une connotation de construction importante, de grandes dimensions, et, souvent, dont les qualités architecturales sont remarquables. Pour plus de renseignements sur les distinctions entre les termes voisins «bâtiment», «édifice», «gratte-ciel», «immeuble» et «tour», voir le document de synthèse qui accompagne cette fiche. 8, record 2, French, - syndrome%20des%20b%C3%A2timents%20malsains

El Síndrome del Edificio Enfermo (SEE), se conoce también como Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). La Organización Mundial de la Salud lo ha definido como un conjunto de enfermedades originadas o estimuladas por la contaminación del aire en estos espacios cerrados. Es un conjunto de molestias y enfermedades originadas en la mala ventilación, la descompensación de temperaturas, las cargas iónicas y electromagnéticas, las partículas en suspensión, los gases y vapores de origen químico y los bioaerosoles, entre otros agentes causales identificados. El tipo de malestares que producen y estimulan estas situaciones es variado: jaquecas, náuseas, mareos, resfriados persistentes, irritaciones de las vías respiratorias, piel y ojos, etc. Entre estos malestares, las alergias ocupan un papel importante. 1, record 2, Spanish, - s%C3%ADndrome%20del%20edificio%20enfermo
