A Visual Guide to Damp, Mold and Indoor Air Pollution

A Visual Guide To DAMP MOLD & INDOOR AIR ROLLUTION CDC-NIOSH has estimated that 33% 29% to 33% of new-onset adult asthma is attributable to work-related exposures 23% of existing adult asthma is exacerbated by work. 23% If occupants develop asthma or asthma exacerbation while working in damp buildings, medical treatment may not be effective if the occupant continues to be exposed.

Indoor air pollution-caused deaths - breakdown by disease: Indoor air pollution such as from dampness and mould, chemicals and other biological agents - is a majorcause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. About 1.5 million deaths each year are associated with the indoor combustion of solid fuels, the majority of which occur among women and children in low-income countries. The prevalence of indoor dampness varies widely within and among countries, continents and climate zones. It is estimated to affect 10-50% of indoor environments in Europe, North America, Australia, India and Japan. In certain settings, such as river valleys and coastal areas, the conditions of dampness are substantially more severe than the national averages for such conditions.
