Abstract

This study looked at the impact of poor indoor climate on child health. It covered the following indoor climate hazards: damp; mould; indoor air pollution; noise; radon; excess cold; lack of daylight. It finds that 30% of children in the EU are exposed to at least one of these hazards. It estimates that the macroeconomic costs associated with children's exposure to damp and mould amount to $ 62 billion over the next 40 years.
