Which building feature is not directly related to sick building syndrome symptoms?

The age of the building

Carpets

High occupancy levels

Inefficient waste management systems

The term "sick building syndrome" refers to a set of symptoms that are experienced by individuals who spend time in a particular building, but cannot be directly attributed to a specific illness or cause. The other options listed all have the potential to contribute to sick building syndrome symptoms. For example, older buildings may have poor ventilation systems, carpets can hold onto allergens and pollutants, and high occupancy levels can lead to an increase in shared germs and bacteria. However, inefficient waste management systems do not directly affect the indoor air quality or other factors that lead to sick building syndrome symptoms.
