THE CURRENT STATUS OF HOUSING FOR PATIENTS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL HYPERSENSITIVITY AND POSSIBILITY OF ACCEPTANCE INTO PRIVATE RENTAL HOUSING

This study investigated the current situation regarding securing housing for patients with environmental hypersensitivity. As a result of a questionnaire survey of patients with environmental hypersensitivity, it was found that even after a long time since the onset of the disease, many patients could not secure adequate housing. As a solution, it was confirmed that there is a possibility of establishing a supply and demand for housing that considers indoor air quality. Improving the methods of mitigating the influences from the surrounding environment and providing information to patients could increase the provision of housing to patients.
