Could mold from ducts cause these symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, mold from ducts could definitely be the cause of those symptoms. In Dubai and the UAE, we have our fair share of humid weather, especially after rain events like the one you mentioned. The damp smell you're experiencing might indeed point to mold growth in your HVAC system.

Mold thrives in warm, moist environments, which is why it's common for air conditioning units to become breeding grounds if not properly maintained. When mold colonies develop within your ducts, they can release spores into the air that are then circulated throughout your home when you turn on the AC. These spores can trigger allergic reactions like runny noses and sneezing in sensitive individuals.

In Dubai, it's important to note that the regulations around indoor environmental quality aren't as stringent as some other places, but that doesn't mean we should ignore potential issues. If you're experiencing symptoms after a heavy rain, it might be wise to have your ducts inspected and cleaned by professionals.
