Mold in your home can cause unpleasant and harmful problems for you and your family. If you have a loved one with a respiratory-related illness like asthma or COPD, it can be even more harmful to them. Mold grows in your air ducts when there is moisture from your air conditioner not draining properly, uninsulated air ducts, or air leaks causing condensation.
There are many different types of mold that can be found in your home. A few of these common molds include acremonium, alternaria and aspergillus molds. Acremonium is usually found in cooling coils and drain pans. Acremonium is very dangerous and can lead to a variety of health problems.

There are over 180 forms of aspergillus and it can produce a deadly carcinogen.
