“…Building mould problems have only comparatively recently been recognised as an indoor environmental hazard [1,2], although the problem has existed for cen-turies [3]. A large volume of literature is now appearing in journals, in particular related to characteristics, distribution, public health, exposure, and health effects from biota including microbes and micro-fungi in the indoor environment [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. As people spend more and more time indoors, issues associated with exposure to mould and substances from related problems (e.g.…”

This paper reviews the literature for evidence of links between ventilation rates in dwellings and moisture related respiratory health with a particular focus on house dust mites (HDM) and fungal growth. There is general consensus that a link exists between ventilation rates in dwellings and respiratory hazards (for example HDM). There is also general consensus of a link between these respiratory hazards and respiratory problems, but it is not clear to what extent hazards cause ill-health. Most existing data are inadequate for conclusions to be drawn whether ventilation rates directly cause respiratory problems. We discuss the many difficulties in attempting to establish these relationships, and suggest the need for larger studies.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Findings from Persons Exposed to Moulds in Water-Damaged Houses

Abstract: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were taken in 47 patients whose symptoms were attributable to mould exposure and had visited the Clinic for Indoor Air Health Problems at the Helsinki University Central Hospital for a diagnosis of possible interstitial pulmonary disease.
