Should I get a professional air quality assessment?« Back to Previous Page

The air in my living room has felt really stale lately, and I've been sneezing more than usual, especially in the evenings after the sun goes down. I live in a high-rise in Dubai Marina, and I've noticed that the dust builds up quickly around the furniture and on the electronics. I’ve tried opening the windows for a bit, but with the heat, it just feels like I'm bringing in more humidity. Do you think it’s worth it to get a professional air quality assessment, or can I handle improving the indoor air myself with some DIY cleaning and a good air purifier?

Given your description of stale air, increased sneezing, and rapid dust accumulation in your high-rise living room in Dubai Marina, it sounds like you could benefit from a professional air quality assessment. Indoor air quality (IAQ) can significantly impact your health and comfort, especially in a high-rise environment where ventilation and filtration systems might not be adequate.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, particularly in commercial buildings, but these standards can also inform residential practices. The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment emphasizes the importance of maintaining good IAQ, which includes regular monitoring of pollutants such as dust, mold, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Living in a humid environment like Dubai can exacerbate these issues, making professional assessment valuable.

While DIY cleaning and using a good air purifier are certainly steps in the right direction, they may not fully address underlying problems. Dust accumulation suggests a potential issue with your HVAC system or insufficient air filtration. Opening windows can introduce high humidity and outdoor pollutants, which might not be ideal for improving indoor air quality.

A professional inspection can provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your indoor air conditions. Inspectors will have the tools and expertise to measure levels of common allergens and pollutants, identify sources of humidity or mold growth, and recommend targeted solutions. If mold is present, for example, it could lead to more severe health issues if not addressed properly.

I recommend that you consider scheduling an air quality assessment. This can provide peace of mind and help ensure that your living environment is healthy. If you are interested, you can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com to arrange an inspection. Taking action now can help you breathe easier and improve your overall quality of life in your home.
