Should dust from warehouse harm my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust from cleaning our old warehouse got into the house a few days ago, we're concerned about it affecting the health of my children. The smell is lingering in our living room near where they play, and I’ve noticed they've been sneezing more than usual lately. Should I be worried about this, or are there ways to safely clean up without risking their health?

Absolutely, the dust from your old warehouse could pose serious health risks to your children. It's quite understandable that you're concerned about their well-being. Warehouse environments can contain a variety of allergens and irritants such as mold spores, dust mites, pollen, and particulate matter which might have been collected over time in the warehouse.
In Dubai/UAE, according to local regulations, it is crucial to ensure indoor air quality meets safety standards. The Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) is a key regulatory body responsible for overseeing environmental conditions across the emirates. They recommend that any significant cleaning or renovation projects should be conducted by certified professionals who can handle such tasks safely and effectively. Given what you've described, it's advisable to get your home inspected by a professional company like Saniservice. They offer services specifically tailored to indoor air quality assessments in residential areas. Their expertise can help identify if there are any hidden issues that could affect your family’s health. To mitigate risks, here are some steps you can take: 1. Ventilation: Increase air circulation in the living room by opening windows for a few hours when weather permits. 2. HEPA Filters: Install high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to capture fine particles that might be circulating from your warehouse dust. 3. Dust Management: Use damp cloths or vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters to clean surfaces and rugs, minimizing the release of airborne particles. 4. Humidity Control: High humidity can promote mold growth. Ensure you have a dehumidifier if necessary to keep humidity levels between 30-50%. Remember, immediate action is key. If your children’s symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with a healthcare provider.
