Is dusty smell after storm linked to health issues?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in my living room, even after cleaning everything. My wife mentioned that the kids seem to be more congested than usual too, and we both have been coughing more often lately. Has anyone else experienced these issues post-dust storms, or could this be related to the ductwork in our apartment?

Yes, the dusty smell after a storm can be linked to health issues. In dubai and uae, we often experience such storms that bring in lots of dust from desert areas. This dust can easily enter your ductwork and get distributed throughout your home. If you notice a lingering dusty odor or if your family is experiencing more congestion and coughing, it could indeed be related to the state of your ducts.
In dubai, air quality issues are particularly concerning due to our geographic location and climatic conditions. After such storms, it's not uncommon for residents to report similar symptoms you've experienced. The dust can irritate the respiratory system leading to discomfort and, in some cases, exacerbating pre-existing conditions like asthma or allergies. A good way to address this issue is by scheduling a professional duct cleaning service. This will help remove the accumulated dust from your ducts, which in turn could improve air quality in your home significantly. According to uae standards and regulations, it's important to ensure that any service provider you use for duct cleaning adheres to local guidelines. At saniservice.com, we follow all necessary protocols to maintain indoor environmental quality.
