ATLANTA -- BioShield Technologies, Inc. said that orders from East Coast distributor Tandem Technologies International have increased 55 percent, which both companies believe is due to increased awareness and concern over protecting work environments from poor indoor air quality (IAQ), also known as 'Sick Building Syndrome' (SBS).
