Abstract
Based on the results of questionnaires sent out to employees in 12 town halls in Denmark, the various forms of irritations caused by the indoor climate, and the opinions of the personnel with regard to the indoor air quality, were investigated. At the same time a trained panel of experts gave their opinion on the air quality in the town halls. Several types of measurements were taken in selected rooms. The investigation showed a relation between the quality of the air as actually experienced by the panel and the occurrence of general symptoms such and tiredness, a feeling of heaviness in the head, headaches, nausea, dizziness and a feeling of being unwell experienced by the employees. The measurements taken by the panel did not correlate with the judgements of the panel of experts of the air quality, nor could the variations beween the symptoms of employees from one town hall to the other be explained in relation to the measurements taken. In connection with the investigation a simple method was developed for quantification of the pollution sources in the building. By using this method the pollution load was determined in nine of the buildings. (AB).
