The indoor environment was investigated in 112 Norwegian dwellings where either healthy children or children with asthma were living. Compared with the official guidelines for indoor air quality, more than 50% of the children's rooms had unacceptable indoor air. Continuous monitoring of carbon dioxide showed unacceptably high levels in 69% of the children's bedrooms at night. Levels of volatile organic compounds exceeded the guideline in 53% of the dwellings. More than 60% of the children were exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, as identified by nicotine in hair and cotinine in urine samples. Levels of house dust mites in excess of the guideline were found in 45% of the dwellings. The results indicated a need to improve the indoor environment in the homes of children.
对112户挪威家庭的室内环境进行了调查，这些家庭中居住着健康儿童或患有哮喘的儿童。与室内空气质量官方指南相比，超过50%的儿童房间室内空气不合格。对二氧化碳的持续监测显示，69%的儿童卧室夜间二氧化碳水平高得不可接受。53%的住宅中挥发性有机化合物水平超过了指南标准。通过头发中的尼古丁和尿液样本中的可替宁确定，超过60%的儿童接触过环境烟草烟雾。45%的住宅中发现屋尘螨水平超过了指南标准。结果表明有必要改善儿童家庭的室内环境。
