Literature Review : Faktor Determinan Sick Building Syndrome pada Pekerja

Abstract

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is a health issue that affects individuals who spend a significant portion of their time in indoor environments. The symptoms of SBS include eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. This literature review examines the causes of SBS among workers, with a particular focus on recent research from the past five years. The review employed a methodology based on a review of the literature, and selected articles from Science Direct and PubMed were identified using specific keywords. The articles were required to have been published between 2020 and 2024, to be available in full text, and to be open access. Additionally, they had to focus on risk factors for SBS among the working population. The findings indicate that SBS is influenced by a number of factors, including indoor air quality, the work environment, individual sensitivity, and building characteristics. To effectively prevent SBS, strategies must be comprehensive, addressing issues such as improving air quality, optimizing the work environment, considering individual sensitivities, and maintaining building standards.
