Exposure to dampness and mold in indoor environments has received significant attention in recent research. This review focuses on studies looking at the impact of dampness, moisture and microbial agents on children's health. We then look more broadly at how research studies have tried to describe dampness and exposure to moisture. Papers published from 2010 onwards were reviewed and are briefly summarized. Most of the papers using dampness as a proxy for microbial exposure focused on respiratory tract infections, especially asthma. This review highlights new findings and also discusses the variety of approaches used to assess dampness in indoor environments.
近年来,室内环境中的潮湿和霉菌问题引起了广泛关注。本综述重点关注了研究潮湿、湿度和微生物因素对儿童健康影响的相关研究。然后,我们更广泛地研究了研究如何尝试描述潮湿和暴露于湿度的情况。我们对 2010 年以后发表的论文进行了回顾,并简要总结。大多数使用潮湿作为微生物暴露替代指标的论文都集中在呼吸道感染上,特别是哮喘。本综述强调了新的发现,并讨论了评估室内环境中潮湿程度的各种方法。
