Is poor ventilation causing my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy smoke from a construction site next door finally cleared up last month, I’ve noticed a persistent acrid smell in my living room. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits especially after we spend time playing there. The air feels thick, and it’s making me worry about their health. Could this be due to poor ventilation or something else?

Yeah, it sounds like poor ventilation might be the culprit. In dubai, we see many instances where new constructions can create quite a stir of pollutants that linger after work stops. The thick smell and coughing from your kids are definite signs to look into.
Firstly, I'd recommend checking if your home has adequate ventilation systems. In dubai, it's common for buildings to have both natural and mechanical ventilation options. Natural ventilation relies on windows and doors while mechanical systems use fans or air conditioning units. If you're not utilizing these properly, it could be trapping the smoke particles inside, leading to those coughing fits. Secondly, look at your indoor environment. Dubai has a high level of humidity in the summer months which can contribute to mold growth if moisture levels are not controlled. Mold spores can irritate respiratory systems and cause coughing. Ensure that any dampness or water damage is addressed promptly as per emirates building codes and regulations. If you're still unsure, I'd suggest calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can help identify the source of the problem and provide solutions tailored to your home in dubai. Remember, keeping indoor air quality in check is vital, especially with kids who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. Stay vigilant about maintaining good airflow and regular cleaning practices. |
