Are dusty vents linked to kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense dust storms we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust collecting around the vents in my bedroom. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and it’s really worrying me if this could be related to the condition of our ductwork. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or know how often the ducts should be cleaned for good air quality?

Dusty vents linked to kids' coughs? Well, it's possible. The dust and particles that accumulate in your ductwork can indeed affect air quality, which might contribute to respiratory issues like persistent coughing in children. In the UAE, especially during dusty seasons or after storms, it’s common for dust to find its way into your home's HVAC system.
In Dubai, indoor air quality is closely monitored due to environmental conditions that may include sand and dust from local weather patterns, as well as pollutants from urban areas. According to the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MoCCAE), maintaining clean ductwork is crucial for ensuring healthy breathing environments, especially in homes with children or elderly individuals. Now, you might wonder how often should your ducts be cleaned? The general recommendation is every 3-5 years, but this can vary depending on factors such as the frequency of use and local environmental conditions.
