Could dusty air from vents be causing coughs?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusual haze lingering even after cleaning the whole house. The HVAC unit in my second-floor apartment has been running more than usual too. My kids have been coughing a lot lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it could be from the dusty air circulating through our vents. Have anyone had similar issues or should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Hey there! Could dusty air from vents be causing coughs? That's a valid concern. In dubai, the recent dust storms can indeed lead to such issues as you described. The lingering haze and increased HVAC operation might indicate that dust has been circulating through your ducts.
In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we often experience extreme weather conditions like those recent dust storms. These events can kick up vast amounts of particulate matter into the air, which if not properly contained, can circulate throughout your home via your HVAC system. This can certainly contribute to respiratory issues, particularly for children and anyone with sensitivities. Given that you're noticing unusual symptoms in your kids, it might be wise to consider a professional inspection and duct cleaning. In dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such tasks. They use advanced techniques and equipment to thoroughly clean and sanitize your HVAC system, helping to remove allergens and contaminants that could be causing those coughs. Remember, in the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) but it's not always easy for homeowners to keep up with these standards on their own. A professional can help ensure that your ductwork is clean and that your system operates efficiently to maintain good IAQ. If you decide to go ahead with a professional inspection or cleaning, Saniservice offers a range of services. You can contact them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email at hello@saniservice.com for more information and scheduling. In the meantime, try to keep windows closed if the air quality is poor outside and consider using a portable air purifier in rooms where your kids spend most of their time. This can help filter out some of the dust and other particles before they reach your HVAC system. Taking these steps might alleviate some of the issues you're experiencing while you decide on further action. Stay healthy! |
