Are indoor air quality checks available in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense sandstorms we had last week, my throat has been feeling really scratchy and itchy, especially in the evenings when I come back from walking the dog. The windows of our apartment are always closed during these storms, but I’m worried about any allergens getting trapped inside. Have anyone else experienced similar issues or know if there’s a way to check for indoor air quality here in Dubai?

Absolutely, indoor air quality checks are available in Dubai. In fact, given the recent sandstorms, it's wise to consider having your home checked for potential allergens and contaminants that might have accumulated indoors.
In the UAE, particularly here in Dubai, regulations like those of the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) set standards for indoor air quality, but these are typically focused on larger commercial buildings. For residential properties, it's more about maintaining healthy environments through regular maintenance and awareness. If you're concerned about what might have been trapped inside your apartment during the sandstorms, I'd recommend getting a professional inspection done. Companies like Saniservice can help assess the air quality in your home. They use advanced equipment to detect particulate matter, mold spores, and other allergens that might be causing those itchy throat sensations you're experiencing. It's not uncommon for residents here in Dubai to experience similar symptoms during sandstorms, as the fine dust particles can irritate respiratory systems. Regularly checking your air quality is a good practice, especially if you or someone in your household has sensitivities. To take proactive steps, consider running an air purifier equipped with HEPA filters while windows are still closed post-sandstorm. This can help remove any remaining particulates from the indoor environment. Additionally, keeping your home well-ventilated during non-storm periods can also contribute to better overall air quality. If you'd like to take action now, feel free to give Saniservice a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and to schedule an inspection. They can provide you with detailed reports on your home's indoor environment and recommend any necessary actions. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health and comfort, especially during such weather conditions. |
