With the five windows and door of the houses opened for maximum ventilation after they are assembled, Wang said the air quality of the homes would reach acceptable levels even faster.
“In the north, it’s common for people to keep their windows and doors shut, but in the south, doors and windows are often left open for ventilation,” she said.
In related news, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is sending a team to Taiwan within the next week to help with reconstruction efforts.
The UN experts will exchange views on reconstruction with local officials, Su Jun-pin (蘇俊賓), Executive Yuan spokesman, said by telephone, without giving an arrival date for the delegation.
The UN group consists of three experts and will be the first UN humanitarian delegation to visit Taiwan since a similar mission after the 921 earthquake in 1999, local media reported yesterday.
