• TITLE: Review on Mould Contamination and Hygrothermal Effect in Indoor Environment

  AUTHORS: Yuyan He, Qinghai Luo, Peihong Ge, Guojie Chen, Hanqing Wang

  KEYWORDS: Mould Contamination, Building Environment, Mould Growth Model, Heat and Moisture Transfer

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Environmental Protection, Vol.9 No.2, February 23, 2018

  ABSTRACT: Mould is an important factor which affects building environment and indoor air quality. Firstly, a variety of damages of mould contamination to human and building are reviewed. Then, the crucial factors of mould growth are analyzed; temperature and humidity are key factors. After that, the indoor mould growth models were analyzed. Heat and moisture transfer in building envelope is a key factor which affects mould growth environment; wall is sensitive to reach the critical condition which leads to mould growth and reproduction, results in contamination.
