Could stale air cause headaches?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy smoke from the recent construction next door settled, I’ve noticed a persistent haze in my bedroom. The air feels thick and stale, especially during the evening when the windows are closed. My partner has been complaining of headaches, and I’m worried it might be more serious than just discomfort. Do you think I can address this myself or should I consider professional help?

Stale air certainly can cause headaches. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where the climate is often warm and humid, poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is a common issue. The thick haze you're experiencing could be due to various factors such as construction dust, mold spores, or even volatile organic compounds from building materials. These pollutants can irritate your respiratory system leading to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
In the UAE, it's important to follow local regulations which include guidelines for indoor air quality in residential buildings. The Health Authority - Dubai (HAD) recommends maintaining good ventilation and regular cleaning practices to ensure a healthy environment. However, if you're experiencing persistent issues like your partner having headaches, especially after construction work next door has settled, it might be best to seek professional help. A professional environmental inspection could identify the sources of pollutants in your home and recommend appropriate remediation steps.
