Could dampness from storms affect my family's health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy storms last week, I’ve noticed a persistent dampness in my apartment near the kitchen. The walls feel slightly colder than usual, and there’s an odd, musty smell that lingers even after airing out the rooms. My family has been feeling a bit under the weather lately—my daughter had a bad cough for a few days, and my son complains of a stuffy nose. Could this be related to the dampness, or should I be more concerned about potential health risks?

Absolutely dampness from storms could affect ur family's health. In the UAE especially dubai, such conditions can lead to mold growth which might cause respiratory issues and other health problems for ur kids. The musty smell u mentioned is a sign of potential mold presence.
In this region, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality. If ur apartment shows signs of dampness like colder walls or persistent moisture, it's wise to consider getting a professional inspection.

While waiting for the inspection, try these tips: • Increase ventilation in ur apartment by opening windows when weather permits • Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels inside • Keep an eye on your children's symptoms and if they persist or worsen, make sure to consult a doctor Remember, dampness can also lead to other structural issues which might not be immediately obvious. Stay proactive about checking for leaks and addressing any water damage promptly. Take care of ur family's health and comfort by acting early! |
