Should we test and purify air ourselves or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms this spring, I’ve noticed a persistent haze in my living room, especially when the windows are closed. The air feels stuffy and the kids have complained about their throats hurting. Given that we’re considering improving our indoor air quality but aren’t sure where to start, would it be more cost-effective to handle everything ourselves or should we hire professionals for an air quality test and purification system installation?

Absolutely, indoor air quality is crucial especially after those pesky dust storms we've been having. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the particulate matter and pollutants can really affect your family's health, especially with kids who are more susceptible to respiratory issues.
First off, I'd highly recommend hiring professionals for an air quality test. The regulations here in the UAE do not mandate specific standards but it’s wise to ensure your home meets a reasonable standard of cleanliness. A professional will be able to conduct comprehensive tests and identify any particulates or pollutants that may have settled post-dust storm. This is particularly important given the high levels of PM10 (dust, dirt) and PM2.5 (fine particles) that can cause significant health issues over time. Once you get your test results, you'll know exactly what you're dealing with. Depending on the outcome, a professional might recommend specific purification systems such as air purifiers with HEPA filters or even an entire HVAC system overhaul to ensure optimal indoor air quality. These systems are designed to filter out particulates and can be quite effective in reducing allergens and irritants. While you may consider DIY solutions like adding plants or using simple air purifying candles, these methods might not be enough if the issue is significant. For example, a study by the University of Central Florida found that while some houseplants can improve indoor air quality, their impact on particulate matter is limited. Professional systems are engineered to handle a wide range of pollutants and allergens.
