Could mold chillers affect my children's health?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, mold chillers can indeed contribute to the growth of molds under certain conditions. Mold thrives in damp environments and requires moisture for its development. In areas like basements where humidity levels might be high due to poor ventilation or recent heavy rains as you experienced, the potential risk is increased.

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, it's important to understand that mold can cause a variety of health issues ranging from respiratory problems to skin irritations. This is especially concerning for children who are more susceptible to these conditions due to their developing immune systems and the proximity of the chiller to your children’s room.

Given the circumstances you’ve described—combined with the heavy rains—the presence of a musty smell suggests that there might be moisture issues around the mold chiller. It's advisable to conduct a professional inspection as soon as possible, especially considering the potential health risks for your family.
