Biological growth only requires food (like or skin cells), moisture and the absence of ultraviolet light to proliferate.
Perhaps, I have just too much time on my hands. Couple that with this intense blanket of fear that we are all experiencing and my brain can get out of hand a bit. So far, I have been able to reign in the majority of all the “what if” scenarios concerning our economy and the health of my enjoyed ones. But, that takes a great deal of energy just to do that. I am blessed that I am able to work while being cooped up in my Heating and Air Conditioning condo office. This is a blessing because focusing on work also allow me to push the dark thoughts out of my mind. However, I can’t stop thinking about the air that I breathe. With so much attention of the virus and our respiratory health, there are things that I need to do around here to improve the quality of our indoor air. Right now, most Heating and Air Conditioning service and service is on an emergency only basis in attempt to limit social contact. So, I may have to wait a bit but, I am for sure getting the Heating and Air Conditioning air ducts in my house cleaned professionally. It never occured to me that there could be and absolutely is plenty of biological contaminants in the air ducts. Biological growth only requires food (like or skin cells), moisture and the absence of ultraviolet light to proliferate. What better arena could contain all 3 of those essentials than the air ducts in my home? To my knowledge, the Heating and Air Conditioning air ducts in this house have never been cleaned. Not once. Again, I shudder to think about what I have been breathing.
