Asthma, House Dust Mites and Indoor Climate
Asthma is a common, costly and chronic disease in the Australian community. There is evidence that environmental factors play a major role in the cause of this disease, and that the most important risk factor for asthma is allergy to house dust mites. Due to the biology of house dust mites, major variable in the viability of mite populations is atmospheric moisture. In some climates, control of house dust mite allergen loads has been found to be possible by seasonal regulation of indoor relative humidities. A simplified method of bioclimatic classification is presented, to identify climates where controlled ventilation may be used to modify internal relative humidities for the purpose of mite control.
