Survey of airborne fungi

In recent years, the damage caused by mold in homes has been increasing. One of the reasons for this is the higher airtightness of houses. With high airtightness and high insulation, the environment becomes more humid, which accelerates mold contamination. Mold can develop from condensation on windows and walls, dust, and any available nutrients. Among these, condensation can be considered a closely related environmental condition for mold growth. Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air is cooled. To suppress condensation and prevent mold growth, it is effective to ventilate frequently to ensure that humidity does not accumulate indoors. Our company conducts analysis of airborne fungi and mold growing on walls, among other things.

June has arrived, marking the start of the full-fledged rainy season. During this time, mold proliferation becomes active. While it is a difficult season for us, it is an ideal environment for mold. Data shows that the number of mold spores floating in the air during this period is among the highest, rivaling that of autumn. Mold can cause not only visual issues but also allergies and infections. If mold proliferates in air conditioning units and spores spread into the air, the risk of such symptoms increases. Additionally, mold can develop on clothing and bedding, potentially triggering allergies. Therefore, it can be said that taking measures against mold is especially important during this time. It is necessary to minimize factors that cause mold growth, such as condensation on window glass. Our company conducts analysis of airborne fungi and mold growing on walls.
