The most important effects of exposure to these pollutants are the increased prevalence of respiratory symptoms allergies and asthma as well as disturbance of the immune system. Preventing (or minimizing) persistent dampness and microbial growth on interior surfaces and building structures is the most important means of avoiding harmful effects on health. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific evidence on the health problems associated with this ubiquitous pollution and provides WHO guidelines to protect public health. It also describes the conditions that determine the presence of mould and provides measures to control its growth indoors. 517 3 $aDampness and mould 517 3 $aGuidelines for indoor air quality 606 $aDampness in buildings 606 $aIndoor air pollution 606 $aMolds (Fungi)$xControl 615 0$aDampness in buildings. 615 0$aIndoor air pollution. 615 0$aMolds (Fungi)$xControl. 676 $a693.892 712 02$aWorld Health Organization. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957856103321 996 $aWHO guidelines for indoor air quality$94446953 997 $aUNINA
