Housing has a huge impact on children/adult health:
- Studies show that 84% of U.S. homes have a bedroom with
detectable levels of dust mite allergens. Many of these have levels
that can contribute to allergies or asthma. (Arbes et al. 2003).
- Exposure to dampness and mold in homes is estimated to contribute
to approximately 21% of current asthma cases in the United States.
Annual cost: $3.5 billion. (Mudarri and Fisk 2007).
- Children in bad housing have increased risk of viral or bacterial
infections and a greater chance of suffering mental health and
behavioral problems. (Harker: 2006)
