About this ebook
Are you aware that the dampness in your home could be impacting your health? Dampness and Health explores the link between moisture in residential environments and adverse health effects like respiratory illnesses and allergic reactions. The book examines indoor air quality, biological agents thriving in damp conditions, and their impact on the immune system. It uniquely integrates building science with medical research, making it valuable for homeowners, healthcare providers, and building professionals.
The book begins with the basics of indoor air quality and sources of dampness before detailing specific health effects such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and immune function. It then progresses to practical strategies for preventing and remediating moisture using ventilation, moisture control, and mold remediation.
Modern construction for energy efficiency can trap moisture, leading to mold and bacteria growth that triggers health issues. The text emphasizes proactive steps to create healthier living environments.
