Did similar dust storms affect indoor air quality in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, similar dust storms have affected the indoor air quality in Dubai before. The recent heavy dust storm was indeed a notable event that brought significant particulate matter into the atmosphere. This can easily find its way inside buildings through open windows or even via the building's HVAC system.

In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, the environmental conditions are such that dust storms can occur at any time of the year but especially during the summer months. These storms can deposit a substantial amount of particulate matter on surfaces as well as within the HVAC ductwork.

If you're noticing persistent coughing or other respiratory issues after cleaning, it could be due to dust and particles accumulating in your ducts. The AC filters might not capture all these fine particles especially when they are so small like those from a recent storm.

Given the situation, I would highly recommend having a professional inspection done to assess the condition of your HVAC system and ductwork. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice can provide thorough inspections and cleaning services that adhere to local regulations. They follow best practices and use equipment suitable for deep cleaning of ducts, ensuring they are free from debris and harmful particles.

Remember, regular maintenance is key in keeping indoor air quality at its best. Even if you don’t experience symptoms now, it’s a good idea to have your system checked every few years or after major weather events like dust storms.

If you're interested in learning more about the services offered or scheduling an inspection, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They will guide you through the process and ensure your air quality is up to par for a healthy living environment.

Stay well!
