Introduction
Mould is a common problem in many households, often arising in damp or humid areas. Understanding the health risks associated with household mould is crucial for ensuring a safe living environment. This article outlines these risks and presents effective solutions offered by Dongshen Company.
Health Risks of Household Mould
Respiratory Issues
Exposure to household mould can lead to several respiratory problems. Studies show that individuals living in mouldy environments have a 30-50% increased risk of developing respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Allergies
Mould spores can act as allergens, causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and skin rashes. Approximately 10-20% of the population is sensitive to mould allergens.
Infections
In rare cases, mould can cause infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. For instance, Aspergillus, a common household mould, can lead to aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals.
Toxic Effects
Certain types of mould, such as Stachybotrys chartarum, are capable of producing mycotoxins. These substances can pose significant health risks, including chronic fatigue and neurological issues.
