Could duct issues cause my daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I've been noticing a persistent cough in my daughter's room. The air feels thick and there’s this strange odor that seems to linger even after airing out the space. It’s worrying because she’s only 4 years old and already has asthma. Could it be related to the ducts? Is it safe for her to stay in that room, or should I consider having them cleaned?

Could duct issues cause my daughter's cough? Yes, it’s quite possible. In the wake of that dust storm, your concerns are valid and very much warranted especially given her asthma.
Ducts can accumulate a lot of debris, such as dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens over time. The storm you experienced might have stirred up all those particles which could be circulating through your home’s ventilation system. This certainly sounds like the sort of scenario that could exacerbate respiratory issues in someone with asthma. Given her coughing, it’s important to consider if the air quality is compromised by these particulates. In Dubai and across the UAE, we often face such environmental challenges due to dust storms or even high levels of sand and pollutants from construction sites. These can certainly affect indoor air quality (IAQ). It's also worth noting that IAQ in the UAE isn't just an issue during specific events but can be a year-round concern due to our climate and surrounding environment. Regular maintenance, like duct cleaning, is recommended for optimal health. If you are experiencing persistent coughing or strange odors even after airing out the space, it might be wise to consider having your ducts inspected by a professional. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, but as an individual homeowner, staying proactive can help ensure healthier living conditions for you and your family. A professional inspection would not only confirm if there are issues with your ductwork but also provide recommendations on how to address them.
