Abstract

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a key determinant of respiratory health. In wetland areas, high humidity fosters fungal growth that may increase the risk of acute respiratory infections (ARI). WHO (2021) highlights dampness and mould as major health determinants, while EPA (2023) emphasizes that poor ventilation, biological pollutants, and indoor smoking exacerbate IAQ problems. In Indonesia, the Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2/2023 sets environmental health standards, including indoor biological and physical parameters. However, scientific evidence on the association between indoor fungi and respiratory problems in wetland settlements remains limited.
