Description
Sick Building Syndrome” (SBS) is the term commonly used for symptoms resulting from problems with indoor air quality. This thematic volume in the series examines the microbiological aspects of Sick Building Syndrome, with an emphasis on the mycology of this phenomenon. Focusing on the mechanisms by which Sick Building Syndrome occurs, this book details the current status of technologies for the detection and identification of the causative agents.
