Is construction dust normal and excessive?« Back to Previous Page

Construction dust is indeed quite common and often part of the construction process, especially in areas like Dubai where building activities are frequent. However, what you're experiencing sounds a bit excessive.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are regulations concerning dust management during construction projects. According to the Municipality's Building Regulations, contractors are required to take measures to minimize dust and debris at their sites. This can include using barriers, water suppression systems, and regular cleaning of the site.

The amount of dust you're noticing could be due to a few factors:
1. The proximity of your home to the construction site
2. The type of work being done (heavy machinery, demolition, etc.)
3. Poor control measures by the construction team

To better understand if there is an issue that goes beyond normal expectations and to ensure your family's health isn't at risk, it would be wise to have a professional inspection. Saniservice provides such services and can offer expert advice on how to manage the dust or identify any potential concerns.

Remember, excessive dust can carry particles like silica, lead, and other contaminants that could pose health risks especially for children and those with respiratory issues. While cleaning regularly is important, it's not a substitute for addressing the source of the dust.
