Is grey powder indoors from rainstorms harmful?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since we moved into our new luxury penthouse last year, there's always a faint but noticeable dusting of grey powder in the air when I open windows after a rainstorm. My husband has been complaining about dry coughs, especially at night, and my young son has started sneezing more than usual. Could this be related to some kind of indoor pollution or mold growth?

Absolutely, the grey powder from rainstorms could indeed be an issue. In dubai and uae, we often encounter such scenarios due to the unique climatic conditions where airborne particulates can become problematic especially after heavy rains. The powder you're noticing might not just be plain dust but could potentially contain particles like mould spores, pollen, or even fine soil from the construction area around your building.
Given the symptoms your family is experiencing, it’s wise to consider that indoor pollution or mold growth might indeed be at play here. In dubai and uae, regulations such as those outlined in the federal law no. 15 of 2018 on the protection and improvement of the environment can apply to building maintenance and safety, including issues related to air quality. It is highly recommended that you seek professional assistance for an inspection. We offer services like the one through call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com where our experts can help identify if there's any mold growth or other pollutants in your new penthouse. Regular testing and maintenance are crucial, especially after such weather events. While you wait for professional advice, try to keep indoor humidity levels low by using dehumidifiers and avoid keeping damp items like rugs near windows or doors that will open during rainstorms. Ensure that any condensation is quickly dried up to prevent mold from starting its growth cycle. Remember, early detection can save a lot of trouble down the line. Don't hesitate to reach out for help if you're concerned about your family’s health and well-being due to these conditions. |
