Which of the following is not a form of building related illness?

  • A.Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • B.Sick building syndrome
  • C.Legionnaires disease
  • D.Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Answer: B

Correct answer: Sick building syndrome

A building related illness has an identified agent and a clinical diagnosis, which is exactly what sick building syndrome lacks - non-specific symptoms relieved by leaving the building, with no cause found.

The other three qualify: carbon monoxide poisoning with a measurable gas and a blood test, legionnaires' disease with an identified organism, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis with a demonstrable immune response to a known exposure. The presence or absence of an agent is the whole distinction.
