Mold spores in the air can be prevented by the new AiroDoctor In-Duct
Air Purification V10P-ID
Prolonged inhalation of mold spores represents a danger to society that is currently greatly
underestimated, and this can cause respiratory difficulties and allergies. However, there are now some
preventive actions to reduce its spread on office and restaurant surfaces.

What is mold?
All people come into contact with mold throughout their lives. Fungi have spread in almost every space
we frequent. Their spores are present in the air and are inhaled by humans and animals. However, this
does not seem to pose a health risk to healthy people, as it only becomes a problem when the spores
find a substrate that offers them ideal conditions to live.

The mold forms mycelium, a network of microscopically small filiform cells, which can be seen as mold
growth with the naked eye.

How dangerous can mold spores be?

As mentioned above, the concentration levels of mold spores present in the environment do not appear
to present a health hazard to healthy people. Spores inhaled through the respiratory tract can be
eliminated quickly and without the appearance of symptoms thanks to the body's defenses that are
responsible for combating and eliminating them.

However, inhaling high concentrations could pose a serious risk even to healthy people, and this occurs
when the fungus has been spread for a long time on the surface of spaces such as offices, stores and
commercial spaces such as restaurants.

Among the most common symptoms are breathing difficulties, persistent headache, sleep disturbances,
irritation of mucous membranes, and coughing or sneezing.

What causes black mold in vents and ductwork?

Duct mold usually appears when there is moisture inside any duct or vent, as this is the perfect space for
bacteria to proliferate. As cold air flows through these air mechanisms, moisture in the air can condense
and remain there in the form of mold spores. However, conditions must be right for spores to develop.

A single spore can enter your office and begin to reproduce and spread if conditions permit. In general,
they tend to feed in hot, humid climates.

Signs of mold in air ducts

It is necessary to know how to identify the appearance of mold in air conditioning ducts, in order to take
action in time and prevent health risks to employees or customers. Here are some signs that mold
spores have infested your business:

 Musty or musty odor. May be stronger in enclosed spaces such as bathrooms and offices, and
may become more noticeable when air conditioning is turned on.
 Mold growth on vents is visible. If it is observed in a specific area, it may be likely to be found on
other surfaces as well.
How to prevent mold growth in air systems or ventilation ducts
Our AiroDoctor In-Duct Air Purification V10P-ID can be used directly in the air duct and placed directly
into the air conditioning system so that the entire air duct is free of airborne mold spores.

Thanks to the LED UV-A photocatalysis system, AiroDoctor can permanently eliminate the appearance of
viruses, bacteria and odors without leaving chemical residues such as ozone and formaldehyde. It can be
applied to new installations of ventilation systems as well as for upgrading existing ones.

The fanless In-duc photocatalyst is based on a cleaning system for airflow in HVAC systems of any size,
and is ideal for new buildings or for upgrading HVAC systems. Anyone with a flow rate of up to 10m/s
could be equipped and upgraded by using the right adapters and channel diameters.

Benefits of getting air duct cleaning services

Air duct cleaning has multiple benefits, from improving the air quality inside office spaces and assuring
employees and customers, to improving the efficiency of HVAC systems. Here we will explain in detail
each of the advantages of hiring an air duct cleaning service.

Helps improve air quality in offices and restaurants

This allows everyone in the interior space to be safe, particularly those who may suffer from respiratory
conditions and illnesses. This benefit is especially important considering that all employers should
ensure the well-being of employees and consumers within their offices.

Reducing asthma and allergy symptoms

Professional cleaning services usually get rid of dust, dirt and allergens. This will allow you to
significantly improve indoor air quality, contributing to healthy breathing within the space.

Removal of small airborne contaminants and mold that are too small to see
Air duct cleaning services are very thorough. This is great news for most homeowners because it means
you'll get rid of a major microbe: mold. Mold spores are not visible to the human eye, so you never
know how much mold may actually be in the air. Professional air duct cleaning services will make sure
that all of these unwanted microbes are gone from offices.

Improving the overall efficiency of your HVAC system

Dirty HVAC systems can become bogged down. By cleaning your air ducts, you may find yourself with a
lower energy bill as your HVAC systems become much more efficient.
