Moisture and health
In our modern lives, we spend most of our time indoors - at work, at school, at home. But are we aware of how humidity affects our health?
According to the Danish Health Authority, dampness and mould in homes can have serious consequences for our health. Mould can trigger asthma, allergic reactions and other respiratory diseases. This makes it important to pay attention to the quality of the indoor climate and ensure that the humidity is at a healthy level.
What are the health consequences of poor humidity?
According to new knowledge and recommendations from SBI, mold in homes can have serious health effects. It can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose and lungs, which can worsen asthma and allergies. In addition, mold can release toxic substances that can negatively affect health.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency points out in their report on mold in buildings that moisture and mold can be a significant cause of health problems. It is therefore crucial to prevent and combat mold to ensure a healthy indoor climate.
How does poor humidity affect children and young people?
In schools and institutions, it is particularly important to pay attention to humidity. According to BlivBygger.dk , poor indoor climate can have a negative impact on children's well-being and learning ability.
