Abstract  I n October, 1980, the Division of Respiratory Disease Studies, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, was requested to lend technical assistance to the Special Studies Branch, Chronic Disease D,i~ision, Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control, to investigate a problem of upper and lower respiratory symptoms and eye irritation in office workers at the Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Hyattsville, Maryland. The survey was conducted on November 10, 11, 12, 1980, and consisted of environmental sampling for various gases, fumes, vapors, particulates and viable organisms; and a medical study consisting of pre- and post-shift spirometry, chest radiograph, and a short questionnaire. All persons who worked on the basement/ground floor of the building (where complaints predominated) and those from other floors of the office building who previously had indicated work-related symptoms to the CDC investigators or who had supplied a sample of serum for anti-fungal antibody titer analysis were invited to participate.
