Mould is common in Australian homes and can be a regular trigger for asthma.
Mould fragments – or spores – spread in the air and can cause allergic and asthma responses in some people.
Allergic and asthma responses may cause inflammation of the airways, which bring on asthma symptoms and may cause serious flare-ups.
Effective cleaning and maintenance can minimise the chance of mould spore build-up, and its potential impact on respiratory conditions.
