Mould and Your Health: What You Need to Know (and How to Stop It)
Mould isn’t just a cosmetic issue or an unpleasant smell—it’s a growing health hazard, especially in humid or poorly ventilated environments. If you've ever experienced musty odours, noticed dark spots creeping across your walls, or suffered from unexplained respiratory symptoms, mould could be silently affecting your indoor air—and your wellbeing.
Let’s unpack the health risks of mould exposure and how technologies like AIRsteril by Fortress Air can help stop the problem at its source.
The Health Risks of Mould Exposure
1. Respiratory Illness
When mould spores become airborne, they’re easily inhaled. This can irritate the lungs and lead to:
- Persistent coughing and wheezing
- Sinus congestion
- Asthma flare-ups
- Shortness of breath
2. Allergic Reactions
People sensitive to mould may experience skin rashes, sneezing, red eyes, and chronic fatigue. Over time, even those without a history of allergies can develop a sensitivity through continuous exposure.
3. Infections in Vulnerable Populations
For immunocompromised individuals, including the elderly, infants, and people with existing respiratory conditions, mould can cause infections such as aspergillosis—a serious lung infection caused by mould spores.
4. Toxic Effects of Black Mould
Some moulds, like Stachybotrys chartarum (black mould), release mycotoxins, which are potentially dangerous to the nervous system and immune health. Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, memory issues, and long-term fatigue.
Is Cleaning Enough? Not Always.
Even with regular cleaning and disinfection, mould often returns. That’s because traditional methods don’t address airborne mould spores or hidden microbial growth. What’s needed is a way to continuously disinfect both the air and surfaces—dynamically and safely.
How AIRsteril Solves the Mould Problem
AIRsteril by Fortress Air, distributed by AMTG, uses advanced technology to kill mould at its source—along with viruses, bacteria, odours, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
AIRsteril units are chemical-free, filter-free, and safe to use around people, animals, and plants, offering 24/7 continuous protection without the need for expensive HEPA filters or harsh sprays.
✅ Key Benefits of AIRsteril in Mould Control:
- Kills mould and mould spores in the air and on surfaces
- Stops mould growth, preventing regrowth in humid environments
- Reduces airborne microbes, allergens, and particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10)
- Destroys odours at the source, not just masking them
- Improves overall air quality, making indoor spaces healthier and more comfortable
- Reduces the risk of cross-infection in shared spaces
Whether in hospitals, aged care homes, waiting rooms, or your own home—AIRsteril helps protect the people who matter most.
