Input from Housing and health counselling services is advisable when a patient's health seems to be impaired by their housing conditions.
650 home visits have been performed by our organisation since 2002. Each visit includes a questionnaire to assess respiratory as well as non-respiratory indoor risk factors, Acarex test to assess mite-allergen content in mattress dust, mould sampling and, when appropriate, air sampling for measurement of volatile organic compounds and aldehydes.
The dwellings studied were mostly flats located in the downtown and occupied by a tenant. In most instances, several health hazards were identified. These hazards, in decreasing occurrence included: mold (74.4%), mite infestation in mattress dust (56.3%), cleaning products accessible to children's'hands (47.8%), dangerous electrical circuits (21.1%), exposure to chemical air pollutants (9.0%), exposure to an electromagnetic field (2.8%). Numerous fungal species were identified often occurring in association.
This service allowed the identification of numerous and various health hazards. Its efficacy and effectiveness remains to be evaluated.
当患者的健康似乎因居住条件而受损时，建议寻求住房和健康咨询服务的帮助。
自2002年以来，我们组织已进行了650次家访。每次家访都包括一份问卷，以评估呼吸道以及非呼吸道室内危险因素，进行Acarex测试以评估床垫灰尘中的螨虫过敏原含量，进行霉菌采样，并在适当情况下进行空气采样以测量挥发性有机化合物和醛类。
所研究的住所大多是位于市中心的公寓，由租户居住。在大多数情况下，发现了几种健康危害。这些危害按发生率从高到低依次为：霉菌（74.4%）、床垫灰尘中的螨虫滋生（56.3%）、儿童可触及的清洁产品（47.8%）、危险的电路（21.1%）、接触化学空气污染物（9.0%）、接触电磁场（2.8%）。鉴定出了许多经常同时出现的真菌种类。
这项服务能够识别出众多不同的健康危害。其功效和有效性仍有待评估。
