Is ductwork causing our kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, my family has been experiencing strange symptoms. The bedroom near the air ducts in our apartment seems to get a lot of dust, and my kids have been coughing up a storm every night. Could this be related to the ductwork? What should I do about it?

Is ductwork causing our kids' coughing?
It's quite plausible that the dust storm and subsequent dust accumulation in your apartment's air ducts could be contributing to their respiratory issues. In Dubai, we've seen similar cases where families have experienced increased coughing especially during seasons with high dust levels. The air duct system in homes can act like a conduit for allergens and contaminants, sending them directly into the living spaces. When there’s been a significant dust storm, it's common for debris to enter your home through open windows or doors, then get sucked into the ductwork by your HVAC system. This could explain why your bedroom near the air ducts seems to be gathering more dust than other areas. Given the symptoms you've noticed and considering the recent weather conditions, a professional inspection of your ductwork would be highly recommended. In Dubai, regulations require regular maintenance for HVAC systems which includes periodic cleaning of ducts.
