The Environmental Health Professional Practice produced an article regarding Condensation Mould Fungal Spores, reported by Mark Westacott, Local Government correspondent.
A direct link between condensation and mould in houses and some serious illnesses has been established by research carried out for The Institute of Environmental Health Officers.
Findings indicate that anyone can become sensitised to the damp environment and black mould fungus spores (Stachybotrys) and develop serious allergies and industrial diseases like farmer lung.
The institutions investigations have shown that condensation with the smallest amount of mould spores is a potent source of allergy which causes asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Even the smallest concentration of mould growth will enable the considerable increase of allergic diseases with much greater effect on, for example, people already suffering from diabetes or leukaemia.
The rest of the population may become sensitised later in life and will respond more slowly. But the symptoms last longer with wheezing, coughing, fever and tiredness and long term damage to lung tissue.
Condensation in properties is increasing due to the installation of UPVC double glazing, new highly efficient boilers and reduced ventilation in an attempt to reduce heating bills.
In some cases the solution to this problem is to install a condensation control system to your property and eliminate this health problem.
