title = "The healthy bedroom",
abstract = "We spend one third of our life in a bedroom and hardly question the health issues of the indoor environment. Occupants know little about the ecology of the house dust mite, about how to avoid mould problems, how to ventilate for good indoor air quality. The bed is likely the main source of house dust mite allergen in the house. Under the sheets air pollutants can reach a 50-fold concentration, compared to the indoor air. Sleeping with two persons in a small bedroom with closed door and no inlet of fresh air causes high moisture and pollutant levels. How healthy is the bedroom? The research on bedrooms is part of a research project on indicators of healthy housing. One of the results of this project is that indicators have to be selected for each different room in a house and that the bedroom is important because of the long exposure period.",
