1 The deposits are composed predominantly of organic material
2 Favourable microclimatic conditions (temperature and high relative humidity)
3 Ideal growth medium for various fungal and bacterial species and microorganisms (mites)
4 The air distribution system promotes the transport of dust and microorganisms to confined environments

Indoor pollution - the effects

From statistical surveys carried out on a sample of 112 buildings*
in North Italy, it was found that:
65% of the ducts are contaminated
65% of systems do not provide adequate air exchange
In 35% of the sampled buildings, allergy problems were found
10% of the sampled buildings are infected with pathological bacteria
In 8% of the buildings sampled were detected particles
of glass fibres in the air
In 4% of the buildings sampled was detected in the air monoxide
of carbon produced by vehicle traffic
