We all try to avoid moisture in our homes. It is generally undesirable and causes condensation and mold on our windows. However, damp is not just an unpleasant problem. According to the Harvard Annual Review of Public Health, there has been overwhelming evidence for over forty years that the buildings we all live and work in have an impact on our human health. If we monitor the air quality in our indoor spaces, we can avoid the negative effects of humidity. Humidity that is too low has been shown to promote the spread of infection, while high humidity can affect more than just our homes and our health.
What can cause damp indoors?
Condensation
Leaking pipes
Water ingress
Insufficient ventilation
How does indoor humidity affect our health?
Excessive humidity can lead to mold growth. This can have the following health consequences:
Breathing problems
Allergies
Asthma & respiratory diseases
More susceptible to infections
How does indoor humidity affect the building?
Moisture indoors can also affect the building itself. It can cause structural damage, such as rotting wood or rust on metal objects. Moisture can also lead to mold growth and spread, which can affect the integrity of walls and ceilings.
