How urgent is improving indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a persistent gritty feeling in my throat whenever I’m indoors, especially when I’m near our living room windows. My son has been complaining of itchy eyes every evening after playing video games for hours on the new console I got him. The air feels thick and unrefreshing, even with the AC running constantly. How urgent is addressing indoor air quality in such a situation?

Improving indoor air quality is crucial, particularly after the recent sandstorms we've experienced. The gritty feeling in your throat and your son's itchy eyes are clear signs that something isn't right. In dubai and the uae, air quality can be a big issue due to the climate and environmental factors like sand storms.
The UAE has strict building codes but these do not always account for the specific challenges of sandstorms or other regional issues. Given your symptoms, it's imperative you address this situation as soon as possible. The thick feeling in the air even with AC running is also a tell-tale sign that there are irritants present. To get to the bottom of what's causing these issues, i'd highly recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection. Companies like ours can help by assessing your home and identifying any potential sources of pollutants such as dust mites, mold, or allergens carried in from outside. Based on our experience with local conditions, it’s also common to see an increase in particulate matter during sandstorms which could be contributing to the gritty feeling and eye irritation. We have seen cases where air filters aren't efficient enough to keep these particles out of the home, especially if they are not regularly cleaned or replaced. Additionally, you might want to consider using HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your AC units as a short-term solution while you work on long-term improvements. These filters can capture fine dust and other allergens that may be causing discomfort for you and your family. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. We are here to help ensure the air in your home is as clean and healthy as possible, especially during such challenging weather conditions. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn’t just about feeling better but also ensuring a healthier environment for you and your family. |
