Is dust from AC harming my children's asthma?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud every time the air conditioning is turned on. The vents are located directly in front of where my children play, right by their toys and where they spend most of their time. It’s really worrying me that this might affect their health, especially since both kids have asthma. Have you had similar issues or know how to safely clean the ducts without causing too much disruption?

Absolutely, dust from your AC can indeed be harmful to your children's asthma. The air conditioning units and ducts in your home can accumulate a substantial amount of dirt, dust, mold spores, and other allergens over time. This debris gets circulated through the system when you turn on the AC, leading to the dusty cloud you've noticed.
In Dubai/UAE, it is quite common for air conditioning systems to be used extensively due to the high temperatures, making them prime locations for such issues. The UAE has some regulations concerning indoor environmental quality and HVAC maintenance but often relies on industry best practices as well. It's highly recommended that you get a professional inspection of your AC system, especially if it's been recently renovated. Dust and allergens can trigger asthma symptoms in children with sensitive respiratory systems. Ensuring the cleanliness of the air conditioning ducts is crucial to maintain good indoor air quality. A thorough cleaning not only removes these irritants but also enhances overall energy efficiency of your HVAC system. To address this, I would suggest scheduling a professional duct cleaning service. Such services use specialized equipment like vacuum trucks and high-pressure washers to clean out the AC ductwork effectively. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable duct cleaning and inspection services that comply with local standards. It's also important to keep your indoor air quality in check regularly by changing or cleaning filters as recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure good ventilation too; opening windows for short periods can help circulate fresh air. Remember, if you notice any worsening of symptoms after a cleaning or even right before a clean is due, it might be worth consulting an allergist to rule out other potential triggers.
