Journal ArticleDOI
Fungi and actinobacteria in moisture-damaged building materials — concentrations and diversity
TL;DR: It is confirmed that microbial growth occurs in many different building materials and shows associations between fungal genera and the type of material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indoor air microbes and respiratory symptoms of children in moisture damaged and reference schools.

TL;DR: In this paper, the indoor air quality and respiratory symptoms of children were studied in 24 schools with visible moisture and mold problems, and in eight non-damaged schools, and the results emphasize the importance of the building frame as a determinant of exposure and symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between moisture or mould observations in houses and the state of health of their occupants
TL;DR: Building-related moisture or mould increased the risk of upper and lower respiratory infections and symptoms as well as of nonrespiratory symptoms and exposure to mould was significantly associated with common cold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of moisture‐damage repairs on microbial exposure and symptoms in schoolchildren
TL;DR: The results suggest that increased symptom prevalence among schoolchildren in moisture-damaged schools can be managed with proper repair of the moisture damage, and a thorough renovation including appropriate ventilation is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and spatial variation of fungal concentrations in indoor air
Anne Hyvärinen,Mikko Vahteristo,Teija Meklin,M.J. Jantunen,Aino Nevalainen,Demetrios J. Moschandreas +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined temporal and spatial variation of airborne concentrations of viable fungi in two single-family houses during the period of the year that such levels are mostly determined by indoor sources.
