Could dusty ducts affect our health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough among my family members, especially when they spend time in our living room. The filters of our central air conditioning unit seem to be clogged with debris, but that doesn’t explain why there’s still a layer of dust on everything even after cleaning. How urgent is it for us to get the ducts cleaned, and could this be causing our health issues?

Absolutely, dusty ducts can impact your family's health, especially during the dry season in Dubai where we have those pesky dust storms. The recent heavy winds and sand have likely caused a surge of particulate matter to infiltrate your home's HVAC system. This debris can accumulate within the ductwork, leading to an unclean environment that might be affecting you and your family.
In Dubai, it is indeed crucial to address this issue promptly. As per UAE regulations, maintaining indoor air quality should be a priority for all residents, particularly in high-rise buildings where dust particles can easily travel from one floor to another. Persistent coughing could very well be due to the accumulation of dust, mold spores, and other allergens circulating through your ducts. It's highly recommended that you get an inspection done by professionals who are familiar with the local climate and construction standards. In fact, many companies offer complimentary inspections which can give you a clear picture of what’s going on inside your system. If it turns out that your ductwork needs cleaning, don’t hesitate to schedule it right away. Ducts in Dubai should be cleaned every 3-5 years or as needed based on the usage and environment. To make things easier for you, companies like Saniservice offer a comprehensive duct cleaning service. They use advanced equipment such as vacuum trucks and high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) blowers to remove stubborn debris and ensure that your air quality is at its best.

If you notice any worsening symptoms, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider and possibly an indoor environmental expert.
