A series of articles covering what you can do to help keep your home or workplace air and surfaces cleaner and purer for everyone.
Mold can pose serious health risks, especially for people with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Breathing in mold spores can cause coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, and other allergic reactions. In some cases, exposure to mold can lead to more severe respiratory issues, such as asthma attacks or infections.
Indoor spaces aren't always super clean, and they might have stuff in the air that's not good for us. For example, things like furniture and cleaning sprays can emit yucky stuff. Even gadgets can, too. This stuff includes VOCs and formaldehyde.
Keeping the air in your home just right is like taking care of a big plant. You don't want it to be too wet or too dry. When it's too wet, tiny things called mold start growing, and they can make us sick. So, you need to control how much water is in the air.
