Considering the time spent in enclosed environments, children are particularly vulnerable to indoor dampness-related indicators exposure. Seventy-six homes from 8 to 10 years old children were used to investigate the prevalence of home dampness-related indicators and their relationship with indoor environmental parameters and socioeconomic indicators, in Porto-Portugal. Few studies have included a walkthrough inspection and environmental parameters measurements in children's bedrooms. Results indicate that mean CO₂ levels were significantly higher in bedrooms with visible mould growth (1093 vs. 757 ppm, p = 0.006) and in bedrooms with tendency for formation of condensations (978 vs. 752 ppm, p = 0.025). Mean relative humidity levels were also significantly higher in bedrooms with visible mould growth (61 vs. 53 %, p = 0.012). A positive correlation was found between the occupation density and the mould spot extent in the room (ρ = −0.658, p < 0.001). Recent buildings have tendency for having less water traces indoor; and parents with lower school levels (0–9 years) have higher tendency for having condensation on windows. This research makes a contribute to the literature on exposure to indoor pollutants.

考虑到在封闭环境中度过的时间，儿童特别容易受到室内潮湿相关指标的影响。在葡萄牙波尔图，76 个 8 至 10 岁儿童的家庭被用来调查家庭潮湿相关指标的流行情况及其与室内环境参数和社会经济指标的关系。很少有研究包括对儿童卧室的走查检查和环境参数测量。结果表明，平均CO ₂水平与可见霉菌生长（1093与757 ppm时，卧室均显著更高p  = 0.006）和在卧室趋势形成缩合的（978与752 ppm时，p = 0.025）。在可见霉菌生长的卧室中，平均相对湿度水平也明显更高（61 % 对 53 %，p  = 0.012）。发现占据密度与房间内霉斑范围呈正相关（ρ = -0.658，p  < 0.001）。最近的建筑物倾向于在室内减少水迹；学校水平较低（0-9 岁）的父母更容易在窗户上结露。这项研究为有关暴露于室内污染物的文献做出了贡献。
