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

After the recent construction next door that’s finally wrapping up, I’ve noticed a persistent dustiness in our living room, even though we’re running the air purifier constantly. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses, which has me worried about the indoor air quality. Should I just keep trying to manage this on my own, or is it time to call in an expert for a thorough inspection?

Absolutely, it sounds like your situation calls for some professional attention. Dustiness and allergic reactions from children are clear indicators that the indoor air quality might be compromised. In dubai, uae, we've seen similar issues due to construction next door. The persistent dust could be a sign of fine particulate matter (pm2.5) or other irritants that your current air purifier may not fully handle.

UAE has specific regulations for indoor environmental quality, especially in new constructions and renovations. Given the recent activity next door, it's wise to check if there might have been any dust or allergen release into your space. The emirates health authority (EHA) does recommend periodic checks of IAQ, particularly after major construction projects.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection would be the smart move here. A professional can assess the situation and provide solutions tailored to your home's needs. They'll likely use advanced tools like air samplers and particle counters to get an accurate reading of what’s in the air.

In the meantime, keep using your air purifier but also consider running a dehumidifier if the air feels damp or moist. This can help reduce mold spores which might be contributing to the problem. Additionally, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when possible, even on hot days – just make sure to close them immediately after if dust is present.

Taking these steps now could prevent further health issues for your family and will give you peace of mind during this time. Remember, air quality in a home can have significant impacts on respiratory health, so it's crucial not to overlook potential problems.
