The duct system of your building functions in the same way as the respiratory system of the human body. Each time the furnace or air conditioner runs, airborne contaminants such as dust, pollen and animal dander are drawn through the duct work. This 'bio-burden' is added to the amazing assortment of items found in the duct system; pieces of lumber, turtle shells, hamster bones, cue balls, coffee cups all begin to trap and hold contaminants. This is an ideal growing place for a wide variety of microbial growth such as bacteria and mold.
