2. FIG. 1
The temperature (°C) and relative humidity (%RH) under the carpets and live mites collected at 30-minute intervals during exposure to the sun. The mean percentage of live mites collected was calculated from the numbers collected from each carpet at 30-minute intervals expressed as a percentage of the total number collected from that carpet during the exposure period 9:15 AM to 3:00 PM. The arrows show the maximum temperature and minimum humidity reached under the carpet.
