Journal ArticleDOI

The Association between Asthma and Allergic Symptoms in Children and Phthalates in House Dust : A Nested Case-Control Study

Carl-Gustaf Bornehag, +6 more
- 01 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: Phthalates, within the range of what is normally found in indoor environments, are associated with allergic symptoms in children, and these associations can be explained by a combination of chemical physical properties and toxicologic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dampness in buildings and health. Nordic interdisciplinary review of the scientific evidence on associations between exposure to "dampness" in buildings and health effects (NORDDAMP).

Carl-Gustaf Bornehag, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2001 - 
TL;DR: The evidence for a causal association between "dampness" and health effects is strong, however, the mechanisms are unknown and there is sufficient evidence to take preventive measures against dampness in buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phthalates in indoor dust and their association with building characteristics

Carl-Gustaf Bornehag, +5 more
- 01 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, associations between the concentrations of different phthalate esters in the dust from these bedrooms and various characteristics of the home were examined using parametric and nonparametric tests as well as multiple logistic regression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Association between Phthalates in Dust and Allergic Diseases among Bulgarian Children

Barbara Kolarik, +4 more
- 15 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, Jaak et al. found that the phthalate concentration in indoor air is usually lower than the concentration in dust, and the predominant phthalates are diethyl phthalATE (DEP) and di-n-butyl phTHTE (DnBP) in the concentration range of 0.05-5 μg/m3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dampness in buildings as a risk factor for health effects, EUROEXPO: a multidisciplinary review of the literature (1998-2000) on dampness and mite exposure in buildings and health effects

Carl-Gustaf Bornehag, +7 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: There is good evidence for a true association between dampness in buildings and health, but the causative factors behind this association are not known and the main focus in practical investigations should be on finding out and remediate the reasons for the humidity problem.
