How urgent is addressing thick indoor haze?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange haze lingering even after cleaning. The air feels thick in my living room near the windows, and it’s really concerning because my kids have been coughing more than usual this season. The AC seems to struggle to clear it out too. How urgent is addressing indoor air quality issues like these?

Addressing the thick indoor haze is indeed very urgent, especially considering the conditions in Dubai and the UAE. The lingering dust from the recent storm can cause significant discomfort and pose health risks to you and your family, particularly for kids who may be more sensitive.

The UAE has strict regulations on air quality that apply to both residential and commercial buildings. According to the Federal Law No. 23 of 1986 concerning Environmental Protection and Pollution Control, it's important to ensure that indoor environments meet certain standards to protect public health. Given the current situation in your living room, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done.

The thick air could indicate issues beyond just dust, such as mold growth or other contaminants. Mold thrives in damp conditions and can exacerbate respiratory problems, especially among children. If you notice any signs of water damage or moisture, such as discoloration on walls or ceilings, it's essential to address these immediately.

To start tackling the situation:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows where possible (considering the dust outside) and use exhaust fans to help disperse the haze.
2. Use air purifiers: These can significantly improve indoor air quality by filtering out particulate matter and allergens.
3. Clean regularly: Dust and vacuum frequently, focusing on areas near the windows that seem affected.
