That means anything that is in your ducts is being breathed in by you and your family.

Allergies and Symptoms
If you or members of your family seem to be seeing an increase in allergies or symptoms such as burning eyes, worsening asthma or seem to be suffering from constant colds this could actually be a result of dirty ducts. Dirty air ducts can be filled with many different allergens that can cause symptoms of allergies and symptoms to worsen or cause those who do not normally suffer from allergies or asthma to show cold or flu like symptoms.
Pests

It is a good idea to have your ducts cleaned just to be safe.
Dust Mites, Pollen and Mold

A good duct cleaning will lessen the amount of dust mites, mold and pollen that can be spread throughout your home and into the air.
Duct cleaning is not required too frequently but should be considered especially when family is showing signs of increasing symptoms of allergies. You can also consider having it done if you buy a home and the owners are uncertain of the last time it was done.
