The main speaker will be Professor Aino Nevalainen from the National

Public Health Institute in Finland. She is an expert on dampness and

mould in houses and how it affects building materials.

She will detail latest international research, what the European Union

is doing about the problem and the health effects of fixing buildings

with mould.

Professor Howden-Chapman is chairing the workshops, and said being

sensitised to mould increased the risk of severe asthma in adults.

Internal mould also had negative effects on people suffering from

immune deficiencies.

HELLO???? " They could start out by recognizing the people who are

exposed continuously who... HAD Normal Immune Systems to begin with,

are now immuno-comprimized "
