Are sandstorms causing indoor dust and health issues?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a layer of fine dust on every surface in the living room, including the TV stand and windowsills. My family has been complaining about coughing fits, which worries me given how often we have these storms here. Has anyone else experienced similar issues, and what do you recommend for cleaning without making things worse?

Are sandstorms causing indoor dust and health issues?
Absolutely. In the UAE, particularly during the frequent sandstorms that hit areas like Dubai, it's common to see a layer of fine dust settle on all surfaces including furniture and windowsills. For instance, after last week's storm, I noticed similar dust accumulation in my living room. This not only makes cleaning more challenging but can also lead to health concerns for those prone to respiratory issues. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations targeting sandstorms directly, but it is crucial to maintain indoor air quality and cleanliness to avoid exacerbating any existing conditions like coughing fits or other respiratory issues. Given the frequency of these storms, professional inspection might be necessary if your family members are experiencing persistent symptoms. To clean effectively without making things worse, start by using a damp cloth on surfaces to gently remove dust. For carpets and fabrics, consider vacuuming with a high-efficiency model that can trap fine particles. Opening windows for short intervals during less severe storms can help ventilate the space but be mindful of when it's safe outside. If you find that cleaning efforts are not sufficient or if health issues persist, it might be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Our team at SanIService can provide professional inspection and remediation services tailored to your specific needs in Dubai. Remember, maintaining a clean environment is key during sandstorms, especially for those with sensitive respiratory systems. Stay proactive about cleaning and consider seeking expert advice if necessary. |
