| Research Abstract |
We examined child health problems related to the indoor environment, especially damp buildings. To assess adverse health effect for dampness in residential buildings, a field measurement of indoor environment was conducted in 48 houses and a questionnaire was distributed to about 1,000 subjects in Akita, Tokyo and Fukuoka area. The results indicated that prevalence of allergic symptoms in occupants was associated with dampness in buildings. Based on the outcome of this study, the proposition of a response-dose relationship for health risk assessment will be expected hopefully.
