BACKGROUND
Indoor moisture/mould is a key source of indoor pollution and ill health. However, there is no consensus on a health-based guideline or even on the best indicators to use, which is a barrier to effective prevention and management of indoor moisture/mould.
AIMS AND SCOPE
For a health-based guideline for indoor moisture damage/mould:
-identify the best potential indicators, based on current evidence on associations with health
-identify potential health-based guidelines or for research needed to develop such guidelines
