What can I do for better indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a persistent fine dust settling on every surface in my living room. Despite keeping the windows tightly closed, it seems to be getting worse. The air feels heavier and almost stagnant, especially when no one is around. Are there any specific measures or products you recommend to improve indoor air quality during such weather conditions?

Indoor air quality is a concern for many residents in Dubai and the UAE during dusty weather conditions. The persistent fine dust settling on surfaces can indeed impact your living environment, making it feel heavier and less breathable.
Firstly, I recommend scheduling a professional inspection to ensure that there are no underlying issues with your building's envelope or HVAC system. In Dubai, you need to comply with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) standards for indoor air quality, which includes regular maintenance checks on ventilation systems. If you notice significant issues post-inspection, our team at Saniservice can offer remediation services. In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take: 1. Enhanced Ventilation: Despite keeping windows closed, consider using a high-efficiency air purifier with a HEPA filter to capture fine dust particles. Air purifiers with activated carbon filters can also help remove odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Our team has partnered with top brands like Blueair, which offer products suitable for your climate. 2. Humidification & Dehumidification: Maintain proper humidity levels in your home to avoid dust mites and mold growth. A dehumidifier can help reduce the moisture content, especially if you notice any signs of condensation or musty smells. For a more humid climate, a portable humidifier with a built-in air purifier could be beneficial. 3. Regular Cleaning: Dust accumulates quickly in dry climates like Dubai's. Use microfiber cloths and cleaning solutions that are effective against dust mites to wipe down surfaces regularly. Vacuum your carpets and rugs frequently, using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter if possible. 4. Plants for Air Purification: Certain plants can naturally improve indoor air quality by absorbing pollutants. Consider adding some spider plants or peace lilies in rooms prone to higher levels of dust. 5. Consultation Services: If the issues persist, consider consulting a professional environmental inspector who specializes in air quality assessments. Our team at Saniservice offers comprehensive services including air sampling and analysis which can provide insights into specific allergens and pollutants present in your home. Remember, during such weather conditions it's crucial to stay proactive about your indoor environment. By taking these steps, you can significantly improve the air quality in your living space and make it more comfortable for everyone at home.
