Bill is correct, I've worked a number of sick building syndrome issues where we never found the substance. A number of people got sick. Was it because the first person had a stomach bug and tossed their cookies on the floor of the classroom. Someone else tosses their cookies because they can't stand the small of tossed cookies, and someone says they smell fumes (tossed cookies) and then the building is evacuated.
About $100,000 later, an investigation finds nothing conclusive. Is it because they didn't or couldn't test for the 10s of thousands of chemicals in use in society and was a real hazard. Since the building was ventilated, the evidence may be gone. Or was it food poisoning or someone eating too many cookies, was the person pregnant and had morning sickness but didn't want anyone to know so they made up the story, or was it physiological. No one will ever know.
