Could poor ventilation cause our coughing issues?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dustiness in the air, especially after our son plays with his toys on the living room floor. The AC seems to struggle to clear it out completely, even when running at full capacity. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something seriously wrong with the indoor air quality here. Could this be a result of poor ventilation or could it be something else?

Indoor air quality can indeed be a concern and it's understandable that you're worried about the coughing issues your kids are experiencing. Poor ventilation is one of the common culprits behind dusty indoor environments, especially in places like Dubai where we have to manage high humidity levels and temperatures year-round.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, buildings can sometimes struggle with adequate air circulation due to the design or placement of mechanical systems. If your AC unit isn't performing as expected, it could be leading to a buildup of dust and other particles in the air. The persistent dustiness you're noticing after your son plays on the floor suggests that there might indeed be an issue with ventilation. However, before jumping to conclusions, it's important to have a professional inspection done. Our company can help assess if poor ventilation is the primary factor causing the discomfort for your family. We follow local regulations and guidelines set by the UAE government to ensure our inspections are thorough and accurate. It’s also worth considering other factors that could be contributing to the issue, such as allergens from dust mites, pet dander, or even mold growth. These can trigger coughing and other respiratory issues in sensitive individuals. To help manage the situation until a professional inspection is done, you might want to ensure your AC filters are regularly cleaned and replaced, especially if they're not doing an adequate job at clearing out the dust. Using air purifiers that are suitable for high humidity environments could also be beneficial. Opening windows when weather permits can improve indoor air quality by introducing fresh air. If you decide to take action, we offer a free consultation service where our experts can come and assess your situation in person. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on scheduling an inspection or any other questions you might have. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for the health of all residents, especially young children. Stay healthy and take care! |
