Should I clean air haze myself or seek help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the nearby building's renovation work last week, I’ve been noticing a persistent haze in our living room. The air feels thick, especially during the evenings when the windows are closed. My family has also been complaining of irritated eyes and sore throats lately. Do you think I can handle cleaning this up myself, or should I consider professional help?

Absolutely understand your concern about the haze and its effects. In dubai & uae, it's quite common to experience poor indoor air quality due to various factors like nearby construction work, dust storms or even high humidity during certain seasons.

Firstly, before jumping into cleaning everything up yourself, i'd recommend contacting a professional inspection service. The regulations in the UAE don't specifically target the levels of particulate matter at home but it's always wise to have an expert assess your environment. They can help determine if the air quality is safe and suggest necessary steps.

If you decide to take things into your own hands, there are some practical measures you could implement:

1. Ventilation: Open windows when possible, especially during cooler parts of the day. Even in summer, timed vents or a whole-house fan can improve airflow.
2. HEPA Filters: Consider using high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters which can capture up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns including dust, pollen and smoke particles.
3. Air Purifiers: If the haze is persistent, an air purifier could be a good investment. Look for one with activated carbon filters that help remove odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
4. Humidifier/Dryer Balance: Adjusting humidity levels can also impact indoor air quality. Too much moisture can lead to mold growth, while too little can cause respiratory issues.
5. Cleaning Routine: Regular cleaning with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner helps reduce dust and other particles in your home.

However, if you notice symptoms like irritated eyes, sore throat persisting or worsening despite these steps, it's time to seek professional help. The UAE does not have strict regulations on indoor air quality but ensuring that the environment is safe for all family members should be a priority.
