Sick House Syndrome
I refer to the Straits Times, Wednesday, September 6, 2000, East Asia. There is this article, " In Japan, it's home, sick home " which eports on the Sick House Syndrome. I would like to enquire if any precautions are taken by the Ministry of Environment or the Housing Development Board, regarding materials being used to biuld our houses. Are we safe from the Sick House Syndrome in Singapore, or are we too being exposed to such a danger. Are there any reguations on the building materails being used, that they are not hazardous to our health? Can the relevent authorities address these questions ?
