House‐dust mites and associated environmental conditions in Danish homes

The Concentration of house‐dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) was investigated in 96 Danish homes with one or more members suffering from asthma. The air‐exchange rates, humidity, and temperature were measured in all the homes. A positive correlation was found between indoor air humidity an...
