Air ventilation ducts (or ductwork) are used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry as a means to both deliver and remove air from an environment. Such examples are central air conditioning units that use ducts to supply air. Hence, air ducts are not only used a method to control an environment's climate, but also to control the indoor air quality.
Dirty air vents are a major cause of indoor air pollution. A great amount of airborne contaminants can be sucked into the air vents each time your central air conditioning or heating unit is ran. Gradually, these airbourne contaminants build up to create a large amount of debris in your ductwork. Lurking within this ductwork are things such as fungi, bacteria, mold, and allergens.
When your air system and duct system are not properly installed or operated, moisture may be present in your vents, creating an excellent breeding ground for microbiological organisms such as mold.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the majority of the people living in the United States spend 90% of their day indoors. When people spend this much time inside, whether at home or at work, this creates great concern about the quality of air being breathed. A frightening fact from the EPA estimated that indoor air pollution may be up to 2 to 5 times, and in some cases, 100 times higher than that in outdoor levels.
