Drying laundry indoors
bad for health
Drying clothes indoors could cause health problems, particularly
to those prone to asthma, hay fever and other allergies, say researchers.
A study found many homes in Britain had too much moisture
indoors and up to 30 percent of this was caused by laundry, the Daily Mail
reported Friday.
The researchers said three-quarters of homes surveyed
had moisture levels that could lead to dust mite growth and were at risk of increased
concentration of mould spores. The reduction in air quality has been tied to
asthma and other allergic conditions.
