The association between living in damp homes and the prevalence of health symptoms was investigated in a population of 519 occupants (adults and children) of 185 homes. Positive associations were found between the reporting of respiratory and some other health symptoms and living in a damp home. The concentration of variable mould spores in indoor air was measured, using modified Andersen samplers, in the living rooms of a sample of 36 homes. The results were compared with the occurrence of dampness characteristics in their homes as reported by the occupants. Homes with at least two dampness characteristics showed higher average spore counts and higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms.
在185所房屋的519名居住者（成人和儿童）群体中，研究了居住在潮湿房屋与健康症状患病率之间的关联。发现呼吸道及其他一些健康症状的报告与居住在潮湿房屋之间存在正相关。使用改良的安德森采样器，对36所房屋样本的客厅内空气中可变霉菌孢子的浓度进行了测量。将结果与居住者报告的房屋潮湿特征的出现情况进行了比较。具有至少两种潮湿特征的房屋显示出更高的平均孢子计数和更高的呼吸道症状患病率。
