Can dust from construction harm my son's health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent construction next door, my bedroom window has been a constant source of dust. Even with the curtains closed, it’s settling on everything inside, especially my son’s books and toys. We’ve lived in this apartment for two years and just noticed how bad it is getting. Should I call a professional cleaner or can I manage this myself?

Absolutely dust from construction can pose health risks to your son and other family members. In dubai and the uae, environmental regulations are pretty strict but it's still important to take precautionary steps.
Construction dust contains tiny particles that can trigger allergic reactions or respiratory issues. The particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) from construction activities can be particularly problematic as they're small enough to penetrate deep into your lungs. This could lead to irritation, coughing, wheezing, and other breathing difficulties especially in children. Given the situation with the dust settling on everything in your bedroom, it would be wise to consider a professional inspection. If you've lived there for two years and only now noticed the issue, it might indicate that the dust is not just from the recent construction but also an accumulation over time. A professional environmental inspector can assess the situation thoroughly and advise on necessary steps to mitigate the risks. They may recommend air filtration systems, regular cleaning, or even sealing off certain areas of your home. In the meantime, you can start by using a damp cloth to wipe surfaces regularly. This helps prevent dust from becoming airborne. Make sure to clean your son's books and toys frequently. Consider getting an air purifier which is quite common in dubai homes for this purpose. If you decide to go with professional help, you could contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for reliable services. These experts can provide a comprehensive solution that will not only clean your home but also advise on long-term measures to keep it dust-free. Remember, keeping the windows closed and using air conditioning when outdoor pollution is high can help too. Just be sure to change filters regularly as they play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality. Taking these steps should help protect your son's health and ensure a cleaner living environment. |
