摘要
A study on “dorm environment and college students’health”was carried out in Tianjin, China, 2006-2007. It consistedof two phases. In Phase I, 3712 students living in 1569 dorm rooms reported their sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms. In PhaseII, 238 dorm rooms were inspected and measured. One out of third (1/3) students reported general SBS symptoms, and one out offorth (1/4) reported mucosal or skin problems. Female students reported more SBS symptoms than males, independent of personal,psychosocial and environmental factors. Moisture-related problem were significant risk factors for SBS symptoms. The adjustedodds ratio of a perception of a moldy odor for general SBS symptoms was 2.4 (1.6-3.8), mucosal symptoms 2.3 (1.6-3.2), and skinsymptoms 2.0 (1.5-2.6). Indoor air temperature and relative humidity did not have clear associations with SBS symptoms. But asensation of “dry air”, which does not indicate air physically dry but presence of pollutants, was a significant risk factor for generaland skin symptoms. Lower air change rate caused a slightly increment of reporting of symptoms.
