There was rain first, then mold.
This is a feature of Darwin's rainy season and heavy rain: growing large pieces of mold in the corners, covering car seats, and giving new designs to old clothes.
While dark patches are ugly, they also pose some health risks that often fly under radar.
In many cases, the symptoms are so broad that only when a person leaves mold can the symptoms decrease and can be attributed to mold
Serious environmental pollution.
"We will become very violent;
"People will either become depressed or aggressive, so behavior will change . "Kemp said.
"It can be irritable bowel syndrome, it can also be fatigue and a variety of headaches. To help mould-
ABC Radio Darwin has proved that the local family has received help from the Tomata architects.
Founder Phil Harris
When it comes to the question of opening windows and blinds to elements, Mr. Harris said with a smile that a tropical house with a breeze can be isolated from the conditions outside.
"Of course, you have to keep them open," he said . ".
"The more open it is, the less chance it will accumulate mold and mold.
But some listeners disagree. Dr Neumeister-
Kemp says keeping the house open in the warm air of the day, and then closing it off into the cold and humid night air is an effective mold
Battle strategy.
But in Darwin, the change in temperature can be very small, the rain in the rainy season is quite constant, you should choose an option and stick to it.
"If you start closing things, then you need to close the house completely and you need to do something about humidity control," she said . ".
If you leave everything open and there is wind everywhere in the house, then mold will not be produced even if the relative humidity is high.
"If you think of tropical areas like Bali where there is often monsoon rain, they don't have mold because absolutely everything is open and every door is a blind.
"By improving the ventilation of the room and drying it, the fan effectively prevented mold.
In a typical southern type of bunker.
Like a brick house, the air conditioner can work with a sealed environment and good-
Insulated walls and ceilings. "An energy-
"The efficient box is well sealed and creates a completely internal environment," Mr Harris said . ".
However, if the system is too cold, the air conditioner can create conditions for the mold to thrive.
"Even at 24 degrees, if the humidity outside is too high and the air conditioner is not equipped with enough moisture, you will still have a problem," Dr. Neumann said . "Kemp said.
This is because of the dew point, that is, the temperature at which water droplets condense and condensation.
It is directly related to humidity.
An audience raised the question of how light affects this equation.
But Dr. Newman
Kemp objected to this, saying that sunlight and artificial light are largely irrelevant because the shell of the mold protects it from ultraviolet rays.
Because the dew point is directly related to humidity, if the air is also full of moisture, the Darwin house with a higher temperature can form mold.
If you come back a few weeks on vacation and find mold on the wall, what is the best antidote?
Blonde girl-
Like a range of potential products, the vinegar solution is correct.
"Clove oil is effective, but it leaves oily residue, so mold will grow on the oil later.
Expensive too.
"But there are many publications that say the 80-point vinegar solution works because it is a penetration pressure that forces the fungus to pressurize and blast it.
"It's not as eye-catching as it sounds, but it's a cheap, eco-friendly solution for the annual rainy season mold. Topics:house-and-
