Can dust storms trigger asthma attacks?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed my son has been having more frequent asthma attacks, especially in his bedroom. The dust seems to settle heavily on the window sills and under the bed. I’m wondering if this is something I can manage myself or if I need to seek professional help.

Dust storms can indeed trigger asthma attacks and the situation is no different for residents of Dubai or any other dusty region like the UAE. The heavy dust that settles during these storms often contains particles such as pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and other irritants which can exacerbate asthma symptoms. In your case with the recent dust storm, it's not surprising to see more frequent attacks especially in areas where dust might accumulate - like under the bed or on window sills.
To manage this situation, you should first ensure that you are following proper cleaning techniques. Using a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces can help reduce dust and minimize allergens. However, given the severity of your son's symptoms it would be wise to consider a professional inspection. The local environment in Dubai often presents unique challenges due to its climate and geographical position, making specialized knowledge beneficial. It is recommended that you contact a professional service for an assessment. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality evaluations tailored specifically for the UAE market.
