Abstract
A cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of respiratory and other symptoms among workers in 25 buildings in Mauritius. Buildings were randomly selected and a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the office occupants to investigate personal characteristics, work environment and demographic factors. Other questions related to the indoor climate at work included: perception of any health symptoms, psychosocial and physical conditions. A walk-through inspection of the buildings was made and some indoor climatic variables were measured. Some ocular and respiratory symptoms were related to water damage, damaged floor covering and mould growth.
