The indoor environment was investigated in 112 Norwegian dwellings where either healthy children or children with asthma were living. Compared with the official guidelines for indoor air quality, more than 50% of the children's rooms had unacceptable indoor air. Continuous monitoring of carbon dioxide showed unacceptably high levels in 69% of the children's bedrooms at night. Levels of volatile organic compounds exceeded the guideline in 53% of the dwellings. More than 60% of the children were exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, as identified by nicotine in hair and cotinine in urine samples. Levels of house dust mites in excess of the guideline were found in 45% of the dwellings. The results indicated a need to improve the indoor environment in the homes of children.
