Abstract

Sick building syndrome (SBS) constitutes a group of symptoms that occur in a building affecting occupants, but disappear mostly after leaving the building. Sometimes biological aspects cause SBS, sometimes the chemicals present in your building, but human biological systems are affected. This paper reveal a review of SBS, including symptoms, causes, effects, work-related illnesses, prevention, and control. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is a medical condition where people experience unexplained symptoms of illness or discomfort while occupying a building. The severity of these symptoms tends to worsen with prolonged stay in the building, but improves or disappears once they leave. SBS can have significant consequences, including: Impaired work or school performance, strained personal relationships, Reduced attendance, Decreased productivity. SBS can occur in various settings, such as: Offices, Homes, Schools, Nurseries. Common symptoms of SBS include: Eye problems (irritation, watering, dryness), Respiratory issues (runny or blocked nose, sore throat), Skin problems (itching, dryness), Headaches, Fatigue, Lethargy, Poor concentration. Overall, SBS can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life and productivity, making it essential to identify and address the underlying causes of the condition.

Abstract

Current spare of human development consisting of advancements in science and technology that led to the synthesis of plastics, polymers with diverse benefits in human endeavours; and on the other hand, the need for quality water is more intensified nowadays. Plastics pollution is rising due to mismanagement, and inturn causing contamination of water bodies and ultimately affecting biological systems. A review of literatures pertaining water, plastics and water pollution was done to fulfill the objective of this study. This study examines the harmful effects of plastics in water on human health and biological systems. Plastics, widely used in daily life, contaminate water sources, posing significant health risks. This review explores the role of water in biological systems, types of plastics, sources of plastic pollution, harmful chemicals conveyed by plastics, and management strategies.This paper concludes that behavior change, effective waste management, effective water supply and treatment, awareness creation may contribute greatly in controlling water pollution caused by plastic pollution.
