How Mould Affects Health.
The Risk within UK Homes.
Mould isn't just an unsightly nuisance – it poses significant health risks.
In the UK, damp and mould are prevalent issues, especially in rental and low-income housing, leading to serious health consequences and increased strain on the NHS.
Scientific Evidence: Mould and Health.
A growing body of research links mould exposure to a wide range of health problems – particularly in damp indoor environments.
Here's what the science says:
Respiratory issues
A landmark review by the Institute of Medicine (US) found sufficient evidence that exposure to damp indoor environments is associated with upper respiratory tract symptoms, asthma symptoms in sensitised individuals, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Immune and allergic reactions
Exposure to mould spores is strongly associated with the development and worsening of allergic reactions such as rhinitis, wheezing, and asthma. Fungi are now considered major indoor allergens.

Neurological and cognitive effects
Although still emerging, research shows potential links between mould exposure (particularly from mycotoxins) and cognitive and mood-related effects — such as memory loss, fatigue, and depression — in chronically exposed individuals.

The Cost to the NHS and Society.
£1.4 billion per year in NHS costs
According to the Building Research Establishment (BRE), poor housing conditions — including cold, damp and mould — cost the NHS around £1.4 billion annually in England alone.£15.4 billion in wider societal costs
The full cost to society from poor housing — including productivity loss, education impact, and care needs — is estimated at £15.4 billion per year.Cost-benefit of fixing the problem
It would cost £250 million to fix Category 1 damp and mould hazards in England’s homes, yet this could return £4.8 billion in societal benefits over 30 years, including reduced NHS burden.Legal Protections for Tenants.
UK laws mandate landlords to maintain safe living conditions:
Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018:Requires landlords to ensure properties are free from hazards, including mould.
Awaab’s Law (2023):
Mandates prompt action by social landlords to address mould and damp issues.
Government Guidance:
The UK government emphasizes the serious health risks posed by damp and mould, urging landlords to respond promptly to such issues.
