1. Indoor Environmental Factors and its Associations with Asthma and Allergy Among Swedish Pre-School Children
Sammanfattning : It has been shown in a large number of scientific studies that living or working in a building with mould and moisture damage increases the risk for asthmatic and allergic symptoms. However, there is a need to establish more valid methods to obtain a more nuanced picture of the wide range of different types of moisture related problems. LÄS MER
