Mold is a Real & Serious Health Concern
Micro-organisms such as mold negatively impact the air quality inside vehicles. The quality of air inside vehicles has been found to be much worse than in homes or the workplace.

Numerous studies and reports confirm this serious problem and the associated health hazards.
Why is it Such a Problem Today?
Efficient HVAC Systems Smaller Fins Trap Moisture More Air is Recirculated
Modern HVAC systems trap more moisture than in the past. This creates a habitat for mold, mildew, bacteria and other micro-organisms to grow.

To maintain cabin temperatures, these efficient systems require a larger percentage of air to be recirculated causing the harmful mold spores to be regularly blown into the passenger cabin and colonize anywhere moisture collects.
