Depuis le début de la décennie [années 1980], l'augmentation du nombre de plaintes relatives à la qualité de l'air et à la ventilation dans les édifices à bureaux préoccupe les occupants. Il s'agit de plaintes liées au confort et à la santé, telles que irritation des yeux, du nez ou de la gorge, fatigue mentale, maux de tête ou encore hypersensibilité non spécifique. Cet ensemble de symptômes connus sous le nom de «Syndrome des édifices hermétiques» surviendrait surtout dans des édifices construits ou rénovés au cours des 15 dernières années. 6, record 1, French, - syndrome%20des%20b%C3%A2timents%20herm%C3%A9tiques
