Re: WHO weighs in on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health
Posted by GeorgeM on 5/16/08

Sharon, thanks for sharing this newsletter. There is a lot
of valuable information in the research papers cited. I
pulled out a few key points from this article.

"Dampness and mould in indoor environments are recognized as
a significant health hazard related to a wide range of
health effects."

"WHO actions in the field of dampness and mould in built
settings are now a main part of the working agenda of the
WHO European Center for Environment and Health in Bonn. A
first task is the development of WHO Indoor Air Quality
Guidelines for Dampness, Mould and Ventilation, which have
been discussed and suggested by an expert meeting of
scientists in October 2007. The suggested recommendations
are part of the meeting report (see the newsletter for the
link to this report). The suggested guidelines are
currently being reviewed and the associated evidence
background is summarized for publication of the guidelines
in mid-2008."
