How do I deal with construction dust?« Back to Previous Page

Handling construction dust can indeed be a serious matter, especially considering the potential health impacts it might have. In dubai and other parts of the UAE, regulations concerning indoor air quality are stringent to ensure a healthy environment for residents. One such regulation is the Dubai Municipality's guidelines on building standards which include provisions for managing dust during construction.

Firstly, if you notice dark spots near your ac vent or anywhere in your home, it’s quite possible that this could be construction dust. Construction dust can accumulate over time and might contain a variety of particles including asbestos fibers (which are very dangerous), pollen, pet dander, and other allergens. Given your daughter's recent allergy symptoms, it is prudent to investigate.

It is highly recommended to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can determine the source of the dust and advise on appropriate remediation steps. If you notice any signs of mold growth due to moisture, this could be an indication that construction dust might have led to increased humidity in your home.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:

1. Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to clean areas where dust is accumulating.
2. Keep windows and doors closed if possible to prevent dust from entering.
3. Dust your home regularly with a damp cloth or microfiber duster to trap particles.
4. Check for any gaps in your home's sealing and consider weatherstripping to reduce dust intrusion.

Always remember that prevention is better than cure when it comes to dealing with construction dust. Regular maintenance of your HVAC systems can also help filter out particulates before they spread throughout your living spaces.

Remember, maintaining a clean environment at home is crucial for the health of you and your family. If unsure about the nature or source of the dust, seeking professional assistance is advisable.
