One of the primary culprits is inadequate ventilation. Many modern office buildings prioritize air conditioning over natural airflow, creating sealed environments where stale air recirculates. This can lead to a buildup of pollutants, including carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to a feeling of stuffiness and discomfort. Furthermore, high humidity levels, particularly prevalent in many parts of India during May, exacerbate the problem. Air conditioning systems struggle to effectively remove moisture, leading to a sticky and oppressive indoor climate.
