Should I hire professionals to assess poor indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in our living room, even after cleaning. My family has also had more colds lately, which makes me wonder if it’s due to poor indoor air quality. Given that we’re considering getting an air purifier but are unsure of its effectiveness and costs, should I hire professionals to assess the situation first?

Absolutely, hiring professionals to assess your indoor air quality sounds like a wise choice. Especially after that dust storm, it's crucial to ensure the air in your home is as clean and healthy as possible, particularly since you've noticed strange odors and an increase in colds among family members.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, indoor air quality can be significantly affected by factors such as high humidity, frequent sandstorms, and even the use of certain building materials. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for indoor air quality at home level, but it's always good to adhere to guidelines that ensure a safe environment.

Professional inspections typically include thorough tests for contaminants like mold, bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter. This can help pinpoint the source of any odors or health issues you're experiencing. Professionals might also recommend air purifiers but will advise on their suitability based on your specific situation.

If the issue seems minor and justifiable, an air purifier could be effective in improving indoor air quality. However, if you notice persistent odors that don't go away after cleaning, it's definitely a sign to seek professional help. Mold growth is common in such conditions and can severely impact respiratory health.

Remember, in Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well equipped to handle these situations. They offer comprehensive assessments and can recommend the best course of action. Their contact info - 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 - is handy if you decide to proceed with a professional inspection.

Another tip would be to consider increasing ventilation in your home, especially after storms like the one you experienced. Open windows when possible and use exhaust fans to help reduce moisture levels which can prevent mold growth.

In conclusion, taking action now by hiring professionals could save you from potential health issues down the line. Trust in the expertise of those who understand the local climate and building conditions here in Dubai.
