Moulds & fungi

Moulds release tiny seeds called spores into the air, which can trigger asthma symptoms in some people. Mould spores are found in any damp place – from piles of autumn leaves and woody areas, to bathrooms, kitchens and even piles of damp clothes.
Aspergillus fungus

To help avoid this trigger:

  • Ensure the house is well ventilated.
  • Ensure damp in the home is treated quickly.
  • Avoid areas (such as gardens or compost) that may contain mould spores.
