Should I hire an air quality expert?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more often lately, but the air still feels stuffy. I recently moved into a two-bedroom place in Downtown Dubai about six months ago, and ever since then, I’ve been noticing a lot of dust settling on surfaces even though I clean regularly. My kids have also started coughing more frequently, which has me concerned. Should I consider hiring an indoor air quality professional to check out the issue?

Absolutely, considering the situation you described, it does sound like hiring an air quality expert could be beneficial. The combination of increased AC usage without noticeable improvement and the recent onset of dust settling faster despite regular cleaning is a bit concerning. Also, your kids' coughing might indicate some form of indoor pollution that needs attention.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, there are specific environmental regulations to keep in mind. For instance, the UAE Environment Agency has guidelines for indoor air quality (IAQ) which you should be aware of. These include standards for particulate matter, carbon dioxide levels, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, these can sometimes be challenging to monitor without professional equipment.

Given your concerns, I would recommend reaching out to a professional indoor air quality service provider. They can conduct thorough testing to identify any potential issues such as mold growth, allergens from dust mites, or even chemical pollutants that might not be visible but are affecting the air you breathe.

Saniservice is one company in Dubai known for their expertise in this field. Their services include comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and remediation solutions. You can contact them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com to set up an appointment.

Remember, proactive measures are key when it comes to maintaining good IAQ in your home. Regular cleaning is important but might not address all sources of indoor pollutants. A professional can provide insights and solutions that you might miss out on otherwise.

In the meantime, keep an eye on how everyone feels around the house. If symptoms persist or worsen, it may indicate a more significant issue requiring immediate attention. Stay vigilant and proactive about your family’s health!
