Absolutely! Dark spots near AC vents can indeed be indicative of mold growth. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where we experience high humidity and warm temperatures, mold is more prone to develop in HVAC systems, leading to potential allergy issues for residents like your daughter.

Mold not only causes respiratory issues but can also exacerbate allergies and asthma symptoms. It's crucial to address this promptly to ensure a healthy living environment. Mold spores can easily spread through the air ducts, reaching all parts of the house, including areas far from the vents.

According to local regulations in Dubai, it is mandatory for building owners to maintain their HVAC systems to prevent such issues. The UAE Environmental Health Regulations and Standards stipulate that regular maintenance checks are essential to ensure the quality of indoor air.

If you've noticed these dark spots, I highly recommend a professional inspection.
