Is duct cleanliness linked to son's cough?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange coughing episode in my son's room. The air feels thick with grit when I walk by that corner of our second-floor apartment near Jumeirah Beach Road. Could this be related to the ducts? How urgent is it to get them cleaned?

Absolutely, the cleanliness of your ductwork can indeed have an impact on air quality and potentially affect your son's respiratory health. In Dubai and the UAE, the sandstorms we often experience can deposit a significant amount of particulate matter into our home systems, including those pesky dust storms you mentioned. This grit can get trapped in your HVAC system's ducts, making its way through to your living spaces.
In your case, it sounds like the heavy dust storm could have contributed significantly to the thick air and the subsequent coughing episode. It’s not uncommon for small particles like sand or other environmental debris to cause irritation, especially among children who may be more sensitive to such irritants. Given the circumstances, I would highly recommend scheduling a professional duct cleaning service to ensure that your system is free from accumulated dust and particulates. In Dubai, you'll find many reputable companies like Saniservice that specialize in this area. They can thoroughly clean your ducts, vents, and filters, helping to improve indoor air quality. Remember, the UAE has specific regulations regarding building maintenance and air quality. Ensuring compliance with these standards not only benefits your health but also contributes to a safer environment for everyone living within the premises. If you decide to proceed, be sure to ask about their credentials and experience. Professional duct cleaners should have the necessary tools and expertise to effectively clean and sanitize your system. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today. Addressing this issue promptly will not only help alleviate the cough but also ensure a healthier living environment for everyone in your household, especially with the upcoming seasons that may bring more dust and sandstorms. Take care of yourself and your family! |
