Room by room advice
As described in previous sections, biological pollutants and insect pests thrive and rapidly multiply in moist conditions. High humidity and the resultant moisture are a major reason for excessive allergens, bacteria, viruses and fungal spores in our indoor air.
Besides the potential health problems, excessive moisture can also result in damage to the building structure. It is, therefore, very important that we practice some form of moisture control.
In most cases this isn't an elaborate task, as many simple measures, such as improved ventilation, are usually sufficient. The task is even easier if the building in which you live has been designed to prevent moisture entry and has strategies that allows humid air to escape.
