Is dusty smell from renovation triggering allergies?« Back to Previous Page

The dusty smell from your warehouse renovation could indeed be triggering allergies and other respiratory issues for you and your family. This isn't uncommon especially after a major overhaul where dust, particles, and sometimes even mold can become airborne.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor air quality is regulated under the Federal Law No. 27 of 2009 on the Protection of Human Health from Environmental Hazards. While these laws focus more on industrial emissions, they indirectly apply to commercial spaces like warehouses. It's important to ensure that the renovation process adheres to best practices to minimize health impacts.

The symptoms you're experiencing—sneezing and itchy eyes—are common reactions to allergens such as dust mites, mold spores, or even fine particulate matter from construction debris. These can all be present in the air following a renovation.

To address this issue effectively, I would recommend taking some immediate actions:

1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows if possible and use high-efficiency air filters to clean the air.
2. Regular cleaning: Use HEPA vacuum cleaners and damp cloths to reduce dust accumulation.
3. Humidity control: High humidity can encourage mold growth; dehumidifiers may be necessary in certain areas.

However, for a thorough assessment, it's advisable to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They specialize in indoor air quality and environmental inspection services and can provide professional advice tailored to your specific situation.

Remember, early intervention is key in managing allergies and ensuring a healthy workspace.
