Could dusty smell cause my child's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

The dusty smell from your master bedroom closet and the coughing fits your child experiences could definitely be related to indoor air quality. In Dubai/UAE, especially in a new penthouse, there are several factors that might contribute to such symptoms.

Firstly, the persistent dust smell might indicate higher-than-normal levels of particulate matter or other airborne contaminants. This can come from various sources like construction materials still lingering from building, inadequate ventilation, or even mold growth. Considering your location and recent move, it's not unusual to find lingering dust and allergens that can irritate sensitive airways.

Regarding the coughing in mornings and evenings, it could be due to several reasons including respiratory irritation from dust particles, allergens, or even fumes from cleaning products used nearby. Given the climate of Dubai with its hot and dry weather, air conditioners play a significant role in maintaining comfort levels. However, they can also circulate particulates that might exacerbate your child's symptoms.

It is recommended you get a professional indoor air quality inspection done to identify specific issues. In the UAE, there are regulations concerning indoor air quality (IAQ) but it’s best to consult a certified expert who understands local environmental conditions and practices. A proper assessment can help pinpoint if mold or other contaminants are present in your closet.

In the meantime, here are some steps you could take:

1. Enhance ventilation: Ensure good airflow by opening windows when possible, particularly after air conditioning use.
2. Use HEPA filters: These filters can capture fine particles and allergens that might be causing irritation.
3. Regular cleaning: Dust and vacuum your home regularly using microfiber cloths or a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum cleaner to reduce dust accumulation.
4. Monitor humidity levels: Keep them within the recommended range (30-50%) to prevent mold growth, which can be done with a simple hygrometer.
