1) Identifies the most important health issues associated with high humidities and presents humidity requirements, typical contamination sites within buildings and remediation measures for each pollutant, 2) Discusses the physical causes of moisture-related health problems in buildings, subdividing them by climate and mechanical system type. Examines studies done on moisture problems in these differing environments, showing that in most, if not all cases, the causes of the problem are only indirectly related to indoor humidity. Identifies a number of specific research needs.
