The levels of damp and mould in West Lothian council homes are to be studied under a new project which will see monitors fitted to a range of houses.
West Lothian is only the third authority in Scotland to introduce the project, which will help it to build a picture of damp problems across its housing stock.
A series of investigations into damp problems was launched last year following news reports of the death of a two year old boy Awaab Ishak as a result of a respiratory condition caused by mould in his home in Greater Manchester.
