Mold Chart for Temperature and Humidity Monitors
2015年9月23日 · Absolute humidity is “relative” to air temperature. At 75 degrees Fahrenheit & 65% RH there is “no risk for mold”. At a cooler 70 degrees Fahrenheit, a more humid 66% RH is still “no risk for mold”.
What temperature should you keep your house to prevent mold?
2023年7月7日 · According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the ideal temperature range to prevent mold is: Winter: Between 60-70°F during the day when you are home and actively generating moisture. This can be lowered to 55°F at night or when away. Summer: Between 68-77°F when you are home, with a maximum of 80°F.
FIGURE C-2: Relationship of Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Moisture in the Air A relative humidity reading taken in a room will only give an accurate indication of the actual amount of moisture present if a temperature reading is taken at the same time. The chart below shows that air at 70°F and 40% RH contains approximately 0.006 pounds of

2024年12月20日 · Sometimes, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent -- ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible. Low humidity may also discourage pests (such as cockroaches) and dust mites.
