11. Poor ventilation can lead to poor indoor air quality. Common manifestations of this include an accumulation of moisture, house dust mites and volatile organic compounds in the air inside homes. Excess moisture generated by normal domestic activity such as washing, cooking and passive drying can also be retained in the building envelope, and the impact of moisture exhaled during sleep can be significant. This can lead to problems with dampness and condensation, can contribute to illnesses such as asthma, and encourage the growth of moulds.
