Why is humidity control the single most important issue for good indoor environmental health in the southeast US?
The most common reasons for development of indoor environmental problems in the southeast’s hot/humid climate are damp building materials and excessive humidity. Even when humid buildings are not damp enough to directly cause mold growth, the excess humidity means even very small leaks or spills evaporate too slowly, allowing materials to remain wet for too long and mold growth to become much more likely.
