 What are the potential health effects of mold in buildings and homes?   Some people have mild symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye  irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation when exposed to molds while  others may have more severe reactions to molds, such as fever and  shortness of breath. Immunocompromised people, and people with chronic  lung diseases like COPD are at increased risk for infections and may  develop fungal infections in their lungs. (CDC) (Center for Disease  Control) 

Does UV radiation from UV lamps kill mold?  Typical UVGI cleaners used in homes have limited effectiveness in  killing bacteria and molds. Effective destruction of some viruses and  most mold and bacterial spores usually requires much higher UV exposure  than is provided in a typical home unit. Furthermore, dead mold spores  can still produce allergic reactions, so UVGI cleaners may not be  effective in reducing allergy and asthma symptoms. (EPA) (Environmental Protection Agency)

If I have mold issues should I have my air duct cleaned? You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if: There  is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet  metal) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.(EPA) (Environmental Protection Agency)
