How can drying clothes indoors be harmful for health?
Drying clothes indoors significantly raises humidity levels within the home, creating conditions ideal for mould growth, said Dr Jagadish Hiremath, public health intellectual. In individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, mould exposure can cause coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Mould spores can trigger allergies, causing sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and skin rashes.
