Summary

Continuous mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) has been advocated as a means of controlling house dust mite. 40 houses in the Southampton area, UK, were chosen for study. 20 were fitted with MVHR systems and the remainder acting as controls. Temperatures and humidities were measured in asthmatic patients' bedrooms. Measurements were also made of mite and allergen levels, indoor air pollutants and clinical changes. Detailed results are given.
