Efflorescence can also be caused by hydroxides and sulfates of either sodium or potassium, which are much more soluble in water than calcium. They form efflorescence more rapidly than calcium hydroxide. These salts can come from cement, aggregates, water, or admixtures.

Sick building syndrome has become such a serious problem in the United States in recent years, you can now find the phrase in the dictionary. It is defined as an illness characterized by skin irritations, headache, and respiratory problems caused by indoor pollutants, inadequate ventilation, and microorganisms including mold.
In recent years, the same toxic mold has been responsible for countless other incidents of sick building syndrome at schools, public offices and even single family homes.
