Approximately one third of US public schools require extensive repairs or need at least 1 building replaced. This study illustrates how national data can be used to identify building\u2010related health risks in school employees and students.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> School employees (n = 309) in 2 elementary schools (schools A and B) with dampness and mold problems completed standardized questionnaires. Responses were compared with participant responses from the 3rd National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and were indirectly standardized for gender, age, smoking status, and (for school B) race. Uncontrolled comparisons were made to responses from a study of office workers, as well as between responses from school employees in different sections of the school buildings designated by decade of construction.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Employees from both schools had excess work\u2010related throat and lower respiratory symptoms, as well as eye, nasal, sinus, and wheezing symptoms. School B employees also had excess physician\u2010diagnosed asthma and work\u2010related fatigue, headache, and skin irritation. Employees in sections of the school buildings that were categorized as having greater dampness and mold contamination had more frequent upper and lower respiratory symptoms than employees working in other building sections.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> This noncostly type of analysis of indoor air quality complaints can be used to motivate and prioritize building remediation in public schools where funds for building remediation are usually limited.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1746-1561.2007.00263.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,23]],"date-time":"2010-09-23T15:29:08Z","timestamp":1285255748000},"page":"32-37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Identification of Mold and Dampness\u2010Associated Respiratory Morbidity in 2 Schools: Comparison of Questionnaire Survey Responses to National Data"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Nancy M.","family":"Sahakian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra K.","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ju\u2010Hyeong","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean M.","family":"Cox\u2010Ganser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathleen","family":"Kreiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","volume-title":"America\u2019s Schools Report Differing Conditions","author":"US General Accounting Office","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00039890209601413"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thorax.56.6.462"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/rmed.2002.1389"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"468","article-title":"Asthma symptoms in relation to building dampness and odour in older multifamily houses in Stockholm","volume":"5","author":"Engvall K","year":"2001","journal-title":"Int J Tuberc Lung Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mai.2002.126383"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"368","article-title":"Current asthma and biochemical signs of inflammation in relation to building dampness in dwellings","volume":"3","author":"N\u00f6rback D","year":"1999","journal-title":"Int J Tuberc Lung Dis"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1363","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.99.14613639","article-title":"The relationship between moisture or mould observations in houses and the state of health of their occupants","volume":"14","author":"Koskinin OM","year":"1999","journal-title":"Eur Respir J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.02110543"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1398-9995.2001.00805.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004200000218"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","volume-title":"Damp Indoor Spaces and Health","author":"Institute of Medicine","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","first-page":"109","volume-title":"IAQ 96\/Paths to Better Building Environments\/Health Symptoms in Building Occupants","author":"Womble SE","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","volume-title":"Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988\u20131994, NHANES III Laboratory Data File.
