Are other areas affected by post-dust-storm dust?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm that hit Dubai a few days ago, I noticed an unusual cloud of fine dust settling on our living room windowsills and even in corners of the dining area. It’s strange because we haven’t had any major cleaning lately, and this dust is so light it seems to come from outside. Have other residents experienced similar issues post-dust storm?

Yes, it's quite common for other areas to experience similar dust issues after a heavy sandstorm. The recent dust storm that hit Dubai a few days ago did indeed cause an unusual amount of fine particulate matter to settle on surfaces like windowsills and even in corners of the dining area. This is especially noticeable because you mentioned there hasn't been any major cleaning recently, suggesting that this dust seems lighter and more pervasive.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such storms can happen quite frequently due to its geographical location and prevailing weather patterns. The recent storm brought with it a significant amount of fine sand particles from surrounding areas, which can easily be carried over by strong winds and settle on various surfaces both inside and outside buildings. Residents have indeed reported similar issues post-dust storm in other parts of Dubai as well. It's not uncommon to see layers of dust settling even days after the storm has passed due to residual particulate matter being suspended in the air for a while. If you're concerned about the quality of indoor air, it might be wise to consider professional inspection services. Saniservice, for instance, can provide expert assessments and remediation strategies if needed. Their team is well-versed with UAE-specific regulations and can help ensure that your living environment remains clean and healthy. To take action, you could contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They offer comprehensive services including air quality testing, dust removal techniques, and advice on maintaining indoor cleanliness post-dust storm. Remember to keep windows closed during such periods and consider using air purifiers if you are sensitive to dust particles. Regular cleaning with microfiber cloths or specialized vacuum cleaners can also help manage the dust that settles indoors. Stay informed about local weather conditions and take necessary precautions to protect your home from sand and dust storms. |
