Marilyn Coppe says work made her sick.
"I became very ill Oct. 3, 2003 as a result of the exposure of the workplace," Cooppe said.
Turns out, Coppe is not alone.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 3 in 10 new and remodeled buildings are making workers sick world-wide.
"Dizziness, lack of concentration, difficulty breathing, upper chest pain, joint pain, and it only happened at work," Coppe said. Then there's the depression.
Doctors say Coppe's symptoms are typical for people suffering from sick building syndrome.
The Alaska Office of Occupational Safety and Health fields dozens of calls about sick building syndrome, but only about four of those a year actually warrant a complaint AKOSH can investigate, said Steve Standley, chief enforcement officer.
A recent case involves the old Mat Maid building on Northern Lights.
