Could dark spots near AC vent be mold?

Absolutely, those dark spots could very well indicate the presence of mold. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, it's quite common to find such issues due to the climate and air conditioning systems that are heavily relied upon. Mold thrives in warm, humid environments, which are often present within ductwork when they aren't properly cleaned.

In the UAE, according to the Building Control Regulations 2018, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is mandatory to ensure the quality of indoor air and prevent issues like mold growth. If you notice any discoloration or foul odors near your AC vents, it's important not to ignore it as it could be a sign that mold has taken hold.

Given your daughter’s allergies, it would be wise to have an inspection done by a professional. Allergens from mold can exacerbate respiratory issues and other allergy symptoms.
