Is dust from neighbors affecting our health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent construction next door, our balcony has become a dust collector. The windowsill is covered with a fine layer of it every day, even though we keep them closed most of the time. My kids are complaining about their coughs worsening since the work started. Can someone share if they’ve managed this on their own or if professional help was necessary?

Absolutely understand your concern regarding the dust from neighboring construction affecting your family's health and well-being. It’s quite common to experience this issue during periods of building activity nearby.
Firstly, it is important to know that according to the UAE Building Code and Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) regulations, construction sites must take measures to minimize dust and debris from impacting the surrounding areas. However, these measures are not always enforced or effectively implemented by all contractors. Given your situation where dust has become a daily issue, it would be wise to seek professional advice. A certified indoor environmental quality consultant can provide a thorough assessment of the dust levels in your area and recommend appropriate remediation steps. In the meantime, you could start by sealing any gaps around windows with plastic sheets or thick towels to prevent more dust from entering. Using HEPA air purifiers might also help filter out airborne particles inside your home. However, these measures are temporary solutions at best.
