Should we hire an indoor air quality specialist?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of fine dust settling on everything inside my apartment, especially in the corners near windows. My wife and I have been experiencing persistent coughs and sneezing fits, which made us wonder if the dust might be causing these symptoms or if there are other hidden health risks we should be aware of. Should we consider hiring an indoor air quality specialist to assess our home and what kind of services do they typically offer?

Absolutely! After the recent dust storm, it's crucial to consider hiring an indoor air quality specialist for a thorough assessment. The UAE has stringent building regulations that ensure structures are designed and maintained to provide healthy living conditions, but occasional events like dust storms can introduce unexpected pollutants into your home.

In Dubai, you have several reputable companies offering comprehensive inspections such as Saniservice, who can conduct detailed analyses of the air quality in your apartment. These specialists typically offer services including air sampling, particle analysis, mold testing, and even radon detection. They will also provide recommendations on improving indoor air quality based on their findings.

Persistent coughs and sneezing could be linked to dust but might also indicate other hidden health risks such as allergens or moisture-related issues like mold growth. The fine dust from the storm can carry a variety of particles, including pollen, dust mites, and even microscopic pollutants that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Considering the climate in Dubai, it's especially important to keep an eye on indoor humidity levels which can promote mold growth. A specialist will check for these issues as well as assess the overall air circulation within your home. If you notice any dampness or musty odors, these could signal a need for immediate attention.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. Early intervention can prevent more serious health complications and costly repairs down the line. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to your family's well-being in such environments.

Take action now to ensure a healthier home environment for you and your family.
