The relationship between measured moisture conditions and fungal concentrations in water-damaged building materials.

abstract：:Available studies indicate that indoor air pollution (IAP) from household cooking and space heating apparently causes substantial ill-health in developing countries where the majority of households rely on solid fuels (coal or biomass as wood, crop residues, and dung), but there are many remaining uncertainties.
