A sensitivity to the indoor environments created by climate control systems is a frequently reported concern. Individuals experiencing this reaction often cite symptoms such as respiratory irritation, skin dryness, and general discomfort when exposed to these environments. For example, an individual might notice increased sneezing or coughing upon entering a building with active cooling systems.
Addressing the sources of these reactions and maintaining healthy indoor air quality is vital for promoting comfort and productivity in enclosed spaces. Understanding the potential triggers and implementing appropriate preventative measures can significantly reduce negative health impacts. This understanding is particularly relevant in workplaces and public buildings where exposure to mechanically cooled air is common.
