Are dust storms causing health issues like coughing and sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm that hit Dubai a few days ago, I've been noticing a persistent cough and sneezing every time I come home from outside. The living room window seems to trap some of the finer particles even with the blinds closed. Have others experienced similar health issues during these storms, or is it just me?

Dust storms can indeed cause health issues like coughing and sneezing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such storms are a common occurrence during certain times of the year, usually between late March to early June, and again from October through December. The storms carry fine particles of sand and dust which can be harmful when they get into your respiratory system.
People like yourself may experience coughing, sneezing, or even asthma attacks due to these particulates. It's not uncommon for individuals to report similar symptoms after being outside during a dust storm, as the air quality significantly drops, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Based on our work with clients in Dubai and the UAE, we've seen that keeping windows closed and using blinds doesn't always prevent all particles from entering your home. The fine dust particles can still find their way inside, especially if they're not properly sealed or filtered out. For those experiencing persistent health issues like coughing and sneezing after a storm, it's recommended to have a professional indoor environmental inspection. Our company, Saniservice, offers such inspections which can help identify any hidden sources of dust or other allergens in your home.
