sick school syndrome
A medical term for symptoms (headaches, fatigue, etc.) that appear when inside a school building, often linked to building materials, cleaning chemicals, or poor ventilation.
Chemicals released from building materials are suspected as a cause of sick school syndrome.
More students complained of sick school syndrome symptoms in the newly built school building.
Standard kanji-katakana mixed spelling.
Variant with a middle dot; less common but seen in some sources.
Wasei-eigo (Japanese-made English) from 'sick' + 'school' + 症候群 (syndrome), modeled after 'sick building syndrome'.
