Is duct dust affecting my family's health?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since we renovated our living room about a year ago, I’ve noticed this persistent dust cloud when someone vacuums near the vents. It’s especially noticeable after the air conditioning is turned on during these hot summer months. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m worried it might be due to all that dust. Has anyone here had issues with duct cleaning affecting their family's health?

Absolutely, the issue of duct dust can indeed have implications for your family's health. In Dubai and the UAE, it is crucial to ensure that your indoor environment remains as clean and healthy as possible given our often challenging climatic conditions.
The symptoms you've described - a noticeable dust cloud when vacuuming near vents, and increased coughing among your kids - could very well be linked to poor duct cleaning practices. It's not uncommon for dusty or moldy air ducts to exacerbate respiratory issues in children and adults alike. The UAE has specific regulations regarding building maintenance and indoor environmental quality; ensuring your ventilation system complies with these can help safeguard your family’s health. Firstly, consider having a professional inspection done. A certified company like ours at Saniservice can thoroughly examine the condition of your air ducts, identify any potential issues such as dust build-up or mold growth, and provide you with a detailed report. We can also recommend solutions tailored to Dubai's climate and your specific situation. In the meantime, here are some steps you can take: 1. Regularly clean your AC filters which might help reduce dust entering the air. 2. Try using HEPA filters in your HVAC system as they capture finer particles that traditional filters may miss. 3. Ensure your home is well-ventilated to minimize indoor pollutants. If you do decide to proceed with duct cleaning, make sure it’s done properly by experienced professionals who use appropriate techniques and equipment. Improper cleaning can sometimes spread dust around more, making the issue worse temporarily. Remember, the health of your family should always be a top priority. If you're concerned about the cleanliness or condition of your air ducts, don’t hesitate to reach out for an inspection.
