Session Abstract

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
