ObjectivesThe study examined the extent and prevalence of perceived indoor environment-related (IE-related) symptoms environmental complaints and psychosocial work environmental factors in Finnish office, school and health care environments.Material and MethodsThe data were collected from non-industrial workplaces (N = 455) in 2011–2012 and 2015–2017 using the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health’s Indoor Air Questionnaire (IA Questionnaire). Suspicion of IE-related problems was reported in 59% of workplaces. The data consisted of 28 826 employees’ responses.ResultsThe employees reported symptoms and environmental discomfort in office environments less often than in school or health care environments. The most often reported IE-related complaints were stuffy air (39% of respondents), dry air (34%) and insufficient ventilation (33%). The most often reported symptoms were irritation of the nose (27% of respondents), irritation of the eyes (26%), and hoarse or dry throat (24%). The results showed differences between the perceived IE in office, school and health care environments.ConclusionsCompared to earlier findings, the most often perceived IE-related symptoms and complaints have increased in Finnish health care environments. The office employees’ perceptions of psychosocial work environment remained fairly unchanged whereas health care personnel more often assessed their psychosocial environment as positive compared to previous reports. Instead of exact reference values, comparing the results of IA Questionnaires with the distributions and mean values of the results of this study may be more informative for those striving to solve IE-related problems. The presented distribution and mean values of perceived symptoms, environmental complaints and psychosocial work environment might help to relate the results to other workplaces. This, in turn, might increase the understanding that IA Questionnaire results are influenced by many factors. The results presented can be used as new reference material when interpreting the results of IA Questionnaires in office, school and health care environments.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie obowiązującej metodyki ekspertyzy osmologicznej, wprowadzonej 14 sierpnia 2013 r. przez Centralne Laboratorium Kryminalistyczne Policji. Metodyka jest efektem wielu prac eksperymentalnych, zarówno krajowych, jak i zagranicznych, analizy praktyki oraz wypowiedzi przedstawicieli doktryny. Opracowanie wskazuje też na poprzednio obowiązujące metodyki badania osmologicznego, począwszy od pierwszych regulacji z 1992 r., które zapoczątkowały prace nad standaryzacją nowej metody badawczej. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na kwestie związane z zabezpieczaniem materiału dowodowego, pobieraniem materiału porównawczego, materiałów kontrolnych i uzupełniających oraz przebiegiem badania śladów zapachowych. Artykuł zwraca również uwagę na aktualne dylematy związane z oceną dowodu z opinii osmologicznej.

This article presents the current methodology of osmological (scent) examination, introduced on 14 August 2013 by the Central Forensic Laboratory of the Police. The methodology was developed on the basis of numerous experimental works, both Polish and foreign, the analysis of the practice, and the opinions of scholars. The article also indicates the previously applied methodology of osmological examination, starting with the first regulations of 1992, which marked the beginning of the standardisation of this novel test method. Particular attention was given to the issues concerning the preservation of evidence, the collection of reference material, and of control and supplementary material, and scrutiny of the scent-tracing procedure itself. The article also focuses on the still present dilemma of the treatment of evidence derived from osmological tests.
