Have recently had a small problem with dampness and mould at home, but it got me to thinking well we breathe similar conditions in rebreathers! Plus we leave damp rebreathers lying around at home!

What are the implications of dampness/mould to human health? Both from rebreather diving and if it's untreated in people's houses?

Does anyone use an air purifier at home? Or a dehumidifier?

From limited knowledge, I think the spores produced by the mould are more of a problem than the dampness itself in most cases.
