Abstract:	Background A previous observational study detected a strong positive relationship between sick leave absences and carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations in office buildings in the Boston area. The authors speculated that the observed association was due to a causal effect associated with low dilution ventilation, perhaps increased airborne transmission of respiratory infections. This study was undertaken to explore this association.
