Microclimate, chemical and biological agents as well as elements such as work organization and psychological factors contribute to the assessment of the air quality in offices. This study, carried out on 1900 clerks working in 445 offices, investigated the reliability of the personal assessment of the air quality by means of a specifically graduated ruler. The results show that the quality of interpersonal relationships, the tasks performed and psychological aspects exert a relevant influence on the personal assessment of both the working environment and the subjective symptoms of discomfort reported.

Abstract

Microclimate, chemical and biological agents as well as elements such as work organization and psychological factors contribute to the assessment of the air quality in offices. This study, carried out on 1900 clerks working in 445 offices, investigated the reliability of the personal assessment of the air quality by means of a specifically graduated ruler. The results show that the quality of interpersonal relationships, the tasks performed and psychological aspects exert a relevant influence on the personal assessment of both the working environment and the subjective symptoms of discomfort reported.
