Could persistent smoke smell be harming health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy smoke from the recent construction next door settled a few days ago, I’ve noticed a persistent acrid smell in my living room, even with the windows closed. My family has been complaining of sore throats and coughing, especially at night. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or should I consider hiring an air quality specialist to help diagnose and improve the situation?

Absolutely, the persistent smoke smell could be causing health issues. In Dubai and throughout UAE, regulations regarding indoor air quality are stringent to protect residents' health. Smoke particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from construction sites can easily enter your home through even small openings or cracks in doors and windows.
The complaints of sore throats and coughing, especially at night, could be due to the irritation caused by these particulates and gases. This is a common issue that many residents experience following nearby construction activities. However, it's crucial to assess whether the situation has progressed beyond mere discomfort into something more serious. Given your symptoms and concerns, I would highly recommend getting in touch with an air quality specialist who can conduct a thorough assessment of your living environment.
