WHO published its first guidelines on indoor air quality guidelines on dampness and mold. The two year study concluded that occupants of damp or moldy buildings have up to a 75% greater risk of respiratory symptoms and asthma. The report also summarizes the available information on the conditions that determine the presence of mold and measures to control their growth indoors.
