Mould is a type of fungi that lives on plant and animal
matter. It grows best in damp and poorly ventilated
conditions and reproduces by making spores, which can
be a health hazard for humans and pets. Airborne mould
spores are commonly found in both indoor and outdoor
environments.
There are many different types of mould, and they all have
the potential to cause health problems. Asthma, allergies,
respiratory complaints, and chronic fatigue are some
health concerns which are associated with mould.

Mould can affect the health of anyone; however, people
with asthma, allergies, pre-existing respiratory conditions,
weakened immune systems or certain genetic factors may
be at greater health risk from mould exposure.
The key to controlling indoor mould growth is locating
and controlling the moisture source. In addition, the home
must have good ventilation and humidity levels below 70%
to minimise internal moisture and prevent mould growth.
