Watch for Mold: If environment is moist, indoor air quality can be compromised by increased mold growth. This can be irritant/allergen and increase risk of chronic lung inflammation in infant.

Possible: Possibly, if there is excessive dust, mold or any airborne allergens/irritants. Keeping the area very clean, and using a HEPA filter unit may help reduce the exposure.
