What is a common consequence of inadequate ventilation in offices?

Inadequate ventilation in offices can lead to a build-up of indoor air pollutants, resulting in poor air quality. This poor air quality can trigger various health issues among employees, such as headaches, fatigue, allergies, and respiratory problems. When employees experience health-related issues due to their work environment, it often leads to increased absenteeism. Consequently, the overall performance of the workforce can decline, impacting the productivity of the office.

On the other hand, improved air quality and increased employee productivity are generally outcomes associated with adequate ventilation rather than inadequate ventilation. Decreased humidity is not an expected consequence of inadequate ventilation; in fact, poorly ventilated spaces can often lead to excessive humidity, which further affects air quality and employee health.
