In today's world of tightened security, everyone co-exists in a sealed "bio-sphere" within any indoor work environment every day. Any factor, especially the fumes and residues of conventional cleaning chemicals, will ultimately affect the health and safety of individuals within a building, especially young children; individuals with disabilities; and the elderly. People lose their voices during a day without any reason; experience dizziness without cause; and leave work with migraine headaches each day...any number of symptoms associated with "Sick" Building Syndrome. Facilities & Operations Departments are waking up to these facts and are seeking chemical alternatives to address these growing concerns. Our "HEALTHY & SAFE" Daily Cleaning Program resolves many of these issues and defuses various "awkward" situations. Hundreds of companies, schools, and health care facilities are presently using our program throughout the world and are experiencing positive results .
SICK BUILDING SYNDROME

The term SICK BUILDING SYNDROME (SBS) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. The complaints may be localized in a particular room or zone, or may be widespread throughout the building. In contrast, the term "building related illness" (BRI) is used when symptoms of diagnosable illness are identified and can be attributed directly to airborne building contaminants.

  • SBS SYMPTOMS : When 20% or more of occupants exhibit complain about Headaches, Nauseau, Dizziness, Sore Throats, Dry or Itchy Skin, Sinus Congestion, Nasal Irritation or Excessive Fatigue and these symptoms last more than 2 weeks...and particularly when these symptoms disappear when th sufferers leave the building.
    NOTE : "Syndrome" indicates several symptoms occurring together.

  • When these symptoms occur in a cluster of people and is NOT indicative of the
          allergic reaction of ONLY one person.
  • When there is NO causative agent isolated or identified
  • When complaints are often resolved by increased ventilation, or better building
          cleaning & maintenance; or just leaving the building.
