So I had a tenant near Boston about 10-12 years ago. They were trying to weasel out of a lease. At one point, the husband claimed something "in the air" was causing his wife's asthma and breathing problem. He insisted that it must be junk in the AC vents. I called a friend in the HVAC business, who laughed at his claim. I eventually brought someone in to "clean the vents", just to protect myself. I was there when he did it ($350). It was a joke, what he pulled out of there.
