Gothenburg Study of Children with DAMP
Okay kiddo, so there was a study done in Gothenburg, which is a city in Sweden, about children who live in damp houses. Damp houses are houses that have too much moisture, like when it's too wet or humid, and that can be bad for our health.
This study wanted to see if living in a damp house affects children's health. They looked at over 800 kids who were living in different types of homes, some were damp and some were not damp.
And guess what they found? The children who lived in the damp houses were more likely to have coughs, wheezing, and other breathing problems compared to the kids who didn't live in damp houses. This is because the dampness can lead to mold and other things that can make us sick.
So it's really important to make sure our homes are not too damp and have good ventilation, which means fresh air coming in and going out of the house. This helps us stay healthy and breathe easier.
