How urgent is addressing persistent indoor haze?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent haze lingering in my living room, especially noticeable when sunlight filters through the windows. The smell is faint but present, and my kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses since we cleaned the house just two weeks ago. How urgent should I be about addressing this issue to ensure better air quality?

Addressing persistent indoor haze is quite urgent especially in the context of UAE and Dubai where environmental conditions can be harsh. The scenario you described sounds pretty common post dust storms which are frequent during certain times of the year.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there’s always a risk of poor air quality due to various factors including dust storms, as you've experienced. While your house was cleaned two weeks ago, it's possible that airborne particles have settled or new ones may be introduced through open windows or doors. The presence of a faint smell and the symptoms reported by your children - itchy eyes and runny noses - suggest there might be allergens or irritants in the air. It’s important to act promptly because poor indoor air quality can affect health, especially for those with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues. In Dubai, where air quality regulations are stringent but not always perfectly enforced, ensuring your home meets these standards is crucial. Dust and particulates can carry pollutants that may be harmful if inhaled over time. For a thorough assessment of the situation, it would be wise to contact a professional environmental inspection company like ours at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or send an email to hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a detailed analysis and recommend appropriate remediation steps. In the meantime, you could start by improving your home’s air quality through simple measures such as: 1. Using an air purifier with HEPA filters to capture fine particles. 2. Regularly checking and cleaning your HVAC system to ensure efficient filtration. 3. Keeping windows closed during high dust or pollution days. 4. Dusting surfaces regularly, especially those near windows where more dust tends to accumulate. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key not just for comfort but also for health in such an environment as Dubai.
