Home dampness and mold were obtained in two follow up investigations cover 20 years. * Home dampness and mold were associated with offspring asthma and atopic dermatitis. * There were dose-response effects of dampness and mold on asthma and dermatitis. * Stronger health effects were found among offspring with 20 years dampness exposure.
Conclusions: Home dampness and mold were associated with offspring asthma and atopic dermatitis. There were dose-response effects of dampness and mold on asthma and dermatitis. Living in newer buildings and indoor painting were risk factors.

Importantly, the are some obvious conclusions about interventions that can be taken in the home, especially in those with strong family histories of atopy, to try to lessen or even hopefully abort the develop of atopic diseases during childhood.
