Why indoor air quality tests are important for mould and damp.
Indoor air quality testing is the key for establishing the presence of mould in a property. This due to it being primarily airborne and only becoming visible when well established and growing as a fungi in your home. Mould spore also settles unseen in fabrics and without an air quality test it cannot be traced. All mould surveys should commence with an air quality diagnostics and microscopic test undertaken by a qualified technician equipped with the correct instruments.
How big is the mould problem across the areas we cover.
Ireland. The mould problem in Ireland is well established and widespread, affecting one in three houses. It is a common issue exacerbated by the country's damp climate and high humidity. Further more, some insulating techniques have increased the problem by increasing internal humidity. Mould poses serious health risks, including respiratory issues, skin rashes, headaches, and worsened asthma. With Irish people spending about 90% of their time indoors, this is a significant concern.
​
Costa del Sol. The mould problem in the Costa del Sol is considered a significant and common concern, particularly in older properties. The combination of high coastal humidity, traditional building methods (lacking proper damp courses and insulation), and insufficient ventilation creates an environment conducive to mould growth.
United Kingdom. Approximately 31,000 babies and toddlers are admitted to hospitals each year with lung conditions that are caused or exacerbated by damp, and mouldy homes.
Overview for Europe. Millions of people are estimated to live in homes with damp and mould, leading to a significant public health burden. Allergic reactions: Around 3-10% of the population has a mould allergy, which can cause allergic reactions in addition to respiratory issues. Official Figures.
​Further more, environmental health researchers study show how indoor air quality affects human health and well-being. Studies suggest that indoor concentrations of air pollutants are increasing, driven by factors such as the types of chemicals in home products, inadequate ventilation, hotter temperatures, therefore higher humidity.
Indoor air quality is also a major issue. Both short- and long-term exposure to indoor air pollution can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory diseases, heart disease, cognitive deficits, and cancer. As one prominent example, the World Health Organisation estimates 3.8 million people worldwide die every year from illnesses attributable to harmful indoor air.
