Good morning learned colleagues
Does anyone know of a (freely available) scientific paper giving symptoms, susceptibility and incidence of ill health associated with indoor air quality. I am specifically interested in effects on people working in historic buildings affected by dry rot, wet rot etc.
Can anyone help?
Linda

Thank you, already did that and found quite a bit. I got some very useful info from the CIEH but the only clinical/research papers I could find were American and the references are not traceable. WHO info was also reasonable but missing references and I like to be very thorough and sure of my ground when potentially having to challenge perceived symptoms which I suspect may be (at least partly) a psychological response to a surveyor's report.

Linda,

There are potential health effect (asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis) associated with exposure to fungi. Try Bioaerosols (ISBN 0-87371-724-4), Bioaerosols handbook (0-87371-615-9., Organic Dusts (0-87371-699-x) and physical and biological hazards of the workplace (0-471-38647-2).

Regards Adrian
