Is duct dirt affecting my family's health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we experienced last month, I’ve noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in our living room. My daughter has started to complain of an itchy throat and my son has been coughing more than usual. It’s really concerning given how close they are to the air vents. Could this be related to the ducts needing cleaning? What signs should I look for that might indicate we need professional duct cleaning in our apartment?

Absolutely, the possibility is high that duct dirt could be affecting your family's health. In Dubai and the UAE, we often face a variety of environmental challenges such as dust storms which can contribute to significant air quality issues inside homes.
Ducts are like the veins of your home’s HVAC system - they transport clean or conditioned air throughout your space. Over time, these ducts can accumulate dirt, dust, mold spores, and other allergens that get introduced from outside or through normal daily activities within the home. Given what you've experienced with the recent dust storm and the symptoms your children are showing, it's a good idea to have your ducts inspected by professionals. Signs indicating you might need professional duct cleaning include: • Persistent dust accumulation in areas away from windows or doors • Increased allergic reactions such as sneezing, coughing, or wheezing especially when close to vents • Noticeable musty odors that seem to linger despite frequent cleaning of surfaces In Dubai and the UAE, it's important to consider local regulations which encourage maintaining good indoor air quality.
