Abstract

Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a group of illnesses associated with the building. From the standard comparison, all standards are aware of Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen dioxide, and Ozone. The Ministry of Public Health of Thailand has established the air quality standards in Thailand based on Singapore. But after that, Singapore standards adjusted PM 2.5 down, but Thailand still uses Singapore’s old standard. So, the PM 2.5 value of Thailand is higher than every standard. There are many studies, which study the prevalence, factors, and symptoms of sick building syndrome. They have different results because of different environments. Thai people are not aware of the sick building syndrome, although it is very close to them. Because in the past, Thai people lived in houses with space under houses, providing good ventilation. But nowadays, Thai people have changed to live in the building. They are increasingly exposed to sick building syndrome. Sick building syndrome protection can do in various ways.
