Danish Research Agency and comprises nine research projects. Additionally an information

project with publication of results as peer- reviewed papers and more broadly accessible

material such reports, guidelines and information material will be co-ordinated under the

programme.

The three main areas of the programme deal with medical, microbiological and buildingrelated

aspects, which are closely correlated to each other. The overall aim of the programme

is to combat mould growth in existing buildings and to prevent growth in future buildings by

establishment of a more secure basis for decision of e.g. proportion and extent of renovation

and choice of materials and constructions. Moreover, it is the aim to further elucidate the

causal relation between exposure to mould growth in buildings and adverse health effects.
