Could poor indoor air quality be causing these issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop lately, but the air still feels stuffy and uncomfortable. I’ve noticed a musty smell, especially when it’s humid outside. My kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses more often than usual. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality?

Yeah, the issues you're facing could absolutely be linked to poor indoor air quality. In dubai and uae, we often experience high humidity during summer months which can contribute to stuffy feeling indoors even when AC is on.

The musty smell suggests there might be moisture build up somewhere leading to mold growth or other microorganisms thriving. Mold spores are notorious for causing respiratory issues like coughing and runny noses in kids. In uae, it's crucial to ensure that areas like bathrooms and kitchens have proper ventilation to prevent such problems.

Additionally, the continuous running of AC without sufficient air circulation might be leading to stagnation of air inside your apartment. This can decrease the oxygen levels and increase CO2 levels making the atmosphere stuffy and uncomfortable.

To address these issues, i'd highly recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection done. At saniservice.com, we offer comprehensive inspections that include checking for mold, humidity levels, and overall air quality in residential areas like yours. We can also provide recommendations on how to improve your apartment's ventilation system or suggest the use of air purifiers.

In the meantime, you could try increasing indoor airflow by opening windows (when it’s not too humid) or using exhaust fans more often. Also, ensure that humidity levels stay below 60% inside your home by using dehumidifiers if necessary. Regularly cleaning and drying areas prone to moisture can prevent mold growth.

If the problems persist, don't hesitate to contact us for a thorough inspection and professional advice tailored for dubai's climate conditions.
