Can mould be leaking through pipes cracks/holes?

Question

I know that mold is definately leaking through some of the deep holes in my flat.  You can see brick in the holes as well as space for air to travel.

Can pipes with cracks and holes behind them also leak contaminated air?  I'm not sure what exactly surrounds the inner wall where pipes are passing but if its the same as deep holes then I guess it can.

When filling can you go right up to the pipe and make it airtight?  in some builds I notice there is a small seemingly deliberate gap but if there were a leak above that would not be visible.

Thanks.

The pipe connected to the radiator has a deliberate space because it is really hot.
Can air leak through walls that has mold? Don’t want to scare you but just about every breath you take may have a mold or fungus spores, in the Forrest 100%  In  most living spaces.
Can you seal the pipes, I mentioned the radiator but there are special collars made to insulate and seal these, water pipes usually can be foamed to seal them. Make sure you know what you are sealing and use the proper material.
