Persons participating in a conference in a major city motel experienced transient mild respiratory illness associated with their presence in the motel conference rooms. The illness was characterized by coughing, sneezing, sore throat, headache, eye irritation, and other symptoms of exposure to a respiratory irritant. Investigation incriminated a chemical shampoo used to clean the conference room rugs approximately one week earlier. Repeated cleaning of the rugs to remove excess cleaning compound eliminated the problem. Excessive application of the shampoo, coupled with a poorly ventilated environment, apparently produced a chemical concentration sufficient to cause clinical illness.
在一个大城市汽车旅馆参加会议的人员，在汽车旅馆会议室时出现了短暂的轻度呼吸道疾病。该疾病的特征为咳嗽、打喷嚏、喉咙痛、头痛、眼睛刺激及其他接触呼吸道刺激物的症状。调查发现罪魁祸首是大约一周前用于清洁会议室地毯的一种化学洗发水。反复清洁地毯以去除过量的清洁化合物后，问题得以解决。洗发水使用过量，再加上通风不良的环境，显然产生了足以导致临床疾病的化学物质浓度。
