摘要

Each season the earth's weather offers more examples of how it responds to imbalances in heat and moisture. 2012 was the hottest year on record; Hurricane Sandy's devastation will cost billions of dollars; desert dust casts a pall over cities; and crops wither in searing heat and drought. Until recently, climate scientists dominated the discussions. Now it is recognized that climate change elements can affect conditions inside our buildings, bearing on our health. Further, as we implement energy reduction strategies to adapt to changes we run the risk of modifying indoor environments is such a way as to increase health risks. When focusing on climate change and indoor environmental quality, a traditional framework is useful to consider influences on materials and products, building characteristics that affect ventilation and moisture, and occupant behaviors and vulnerabilities. Health risks from indoor dampness and mold are well established. In the aftermath of severe storms and intense precipitation, more structures experience flooding, followed by increases in asthma and allergenic disorders. With increasing atmospheric CO2, ragweed pollen production increases. Increased electrical outages (storm and heat-related) have led to more cases of accidental CO poisoning from improper auxiliary generator use. The survival of viruses on surfaces is influenced by temperature and humidity. Absolute humidity is the controlling factor in the inactivation and transmission of influenza virus. While some regions will get warmer and more humid, reducing the chance of some viruses surviving on surfaces, other regions will become drier. The interactions among climate change factors, the built environment and human responses will be complex. Some elements of these interactions may be anticipated from ones we already recognize. But for some risks it will take long-term surveillance of weatherization programs, aging of new materials, and follow up on catastrophic events to reveal the consequence on our indoor environments.
