Could dust in Burj Khalifa area cause my cough?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment in the Burj Khalifa area a few months ago, I’ve noticed an odd, persistent dry cough that won’t seem to go away. The air feels thick with dust even when my air purifier is on full blast. My family and I have been feeling fatigued lately too. Could these symptoms be linked to something in our new home environment?

Yes, dust in the Burj Khalifa area can indeed cause your cough. The UAE, particularly areas like Dubai where construction is common and air quality issues may arise from building materials and dust, can certainly contribute to respiratory symptoms. It's not uncommon for new residents to experience discomfort due to the settling of dust particles or even molds that might be present in a newly renovated space.

Given your persistent cough and fatigue, it would be wise to have an indoor environmental inspection done by a professional company like ours at Saniservice. We are well-versed with UAE-specific regulations and can help identify potential issues such as mold growth, which is particularly prevalent during the humid months or even in areas with poor air quality.

In the meantime, make sure to keep your home's humidity levels low if you're using a dehumidifier or air conditioner, as higher humidity can encourage mold development. Also, ensure that all windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent dust from entering your living space. Regularly vacuuming and dusting with microfiber cloths can help reduce airborne particles.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it's crucial to seek medical advice. Our contact details for immediate assistance are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com for professional guidance and support.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment in the UAE. Stay proactive about your home's cleanliness and seek help when needed.
