My wife worked in IT most of her life. I just read her the above quote, and her response was, "HA!" She was constantly assaulted by carpet & adhesive (carpet & wall covering) fumes, air-conditioning contaminants, fumes from chemicals put on the office landscape plants, pvc fumes from vinyl in office equipment, formaldehyde from particle board in office furniture, asbestos insulation in older buildings, cyanide from isocyanates in urethane foam in office furniture, paints, & furniture finishes, copy toners.... and the list goes on. She also has tinnitis she suspects may be due to decades of white noise generators.

Offices aren't any safer than other environments when you think about it/dig in a little...

Google: chemicals found in office air
