THE DANGERS OF
ALTERNARIA
Mould
What is
Alternaria?
Alternaria, a common aircon
mould found in dry, warm
climates, releases air spores that
peak in the afternoon and
disperse in warm, dry air.
Why is Alternaria
Dangerous?
Certain studies reveal higher fungal contamination in
AC filters compared to carpets, with levels
approximately five times greater.
What Are the
Associated
Health Risks?
Symptoms include:
Common Cold
Runny Nose
Cough
Sore Throat
Itching
Irritated Eyes
Breathing Difficulties
Hives
Skin Rashes
Alternaria flourishes at temperatures ranging from 20
to 25 degrees Celsius but can survive within a broader
range of 1 to 35 degrees Celsius. It is an outdoor mould
commonly found on vegetation. However, if outdoor
air containing Alternaria spores is drawn into the air
conditioning system, the mould spores can colonise
and contaminate the indoor components of the
system, including the ducts and vents.
How Does
It Spread?
Prevention Method
Regularly clean your aircon to
eliminate dust and debris that
nourish mould. This involves
maintaining filters, coils, vents, and
ducts—scheduling pro-check-ups to
catch and tackle mould early on to
prevent more significant issues.
