Description
Summary:Over the past twenty years, several epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of asthma has risen dramatically in North America and Europe. Several authors suggest that this increase is at least partly due to an increased exposure to indoor air contaminants in the residential environment.

Preventive methods will be briefly discussed.
