abstract: Buildings which are too damp or too dry can be bad for occupants’ health.
This fact has been well established by many reports including those of the World Health Organisation and the Institute of Medicine. Yet precisely how bad such buildings are to what kinds of occupants at what level of dampness or dryness is much more difficult to define, as are the agents of illness, such as the many types of mould, bacteria, other irritants and toxins that can result from imbalances of moisture in buildings.
