The University of Manchester reported the results of a study by a research team that found that "one load of laundry releases about 2 liters of moisture into the room.
"When wet laundry is dried indoors, the humidity in the room rises rapidly, creating an environment conducive to mold growth. If the spores of Aspergillus are inhaled, it can cause fatal lung infections.
"Most people are immune to the mold or can easily overcome it, but asthma sufferers may experience coughing," he said.
In people with weakened immune systems, it can cause serious lung damage called pulmonary aspergilloma."
Dr Rebecca Drummond, an expert in immunology and immunotherapy at the University of Birmingham in the UK, said: "Long-term exposure to mould can cause serious health problems.
"It is best to dry clothes outdoors and you should dry clothes indoors," Dr Drummond said.
If you are staying indoors, you should ventilate during downtime and use dehumidifiers or heating functions to adjust humidity."
