Sick building syndrome is caused by the buildup of indoor pollutants which is linked to which of the following?

Suggested Answer: A

Sick building syndrome is a condition affecting building occupants who experience acute health and discomfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building. One of the causes of sick building syndrome is the buildup of indoor pollutants, which is often linked to low airflow rates. Poor ventilation can lead to insufficient dilution or removal of indoor pollutants, contributing to a range of symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat. Ensuring adequate ventilation and airflow is therefore critical to prevent the buildup of pollutants and promote a healthy indoor environment.

High filtration levels seem like they would help, not cause problems, so I’m leaning towards low airflow rates or advanced building age.
