Are dusty winds and dryness harmful during Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dusty winds, we've noticed a lot of dust bunnies accumulating under our beds and in the corners of the living room. Even with the air purifier running all day, the coughing and sneezing among my family has been relentless. The house feels very dry too. Is this normal during these cleaning sessions for Ramadan, or should I be more concerned about potential health issues?

Dusty winds and dryness can indeed be challenging during Ramadan, especially for those living in Dubai or the UAE. These conditions are quite common due to the season's weather patterns, but they don't have to spell discomfort for your household.
Firstly, dusty winds might bring in a lot of airborne particulates such as dust, pollen, and even fine sand particles. This can exacerbate respiratory issues, especially during a time when physical activity is typically reduced. The dryness could be due to the low humidity levels which are characteristic of the region's climate. High levels of indoor pollutants like dust bunnies under beds and in corners can worsen these conditions for your family. It’s important to note that while these symptoms might seem normal, they don't have to be. If you find that the coughing and sneezing continue despite running an air purifier, it may be worth considering a professional inspection. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive indoor environmental assessments that can identify any hidden issues contributing to your discomfort. Regular cleaning is key during this period. Using a damp cloth or microfiber dusters can help reduce dust accumulation. Opening windows for short intervals when the air quality outside is good can also improve air circulation and humidity levels inside your home. However, be cautious of dust storms and close windows if necessary. If you’re experiencing persistent health issues, don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation. We have experts who can provide tailored advice based on the specific conditions in your home. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial not just during Ramadan but all year round. By taking proactive steps, you can ensure a more comfortable and healthier environment for your family. Dryness is indeed a concern, especially when it comes to skin and respiratory health. Using a humidifier could help to maintain the right level of moisture in the air. Just make sure to clean and maintain it properly to avoid any mold growth or bacterial issues that might arise from stagnant water. So while dusty winds and dryness are common challenges during this time, they don't have to be a major issue. With some careful attention and possibly professional help if needed, you can keep your home environment healthy and comfortable for all family members. |
