Is indoor air quality causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but my kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and itchy eyes. The air feels so thick, especially in the living room where they spend most of their time playing. Have anyone else experienced similar issues or know what could be causing this?

Indoor air quality can indeed be the culprit behind your kids' symptoms. In Dubai and the UAE, we often face challenges related to humidity levels, dust, and pollutants that can affect our air quality. The non-stop operation of your AC suggests that the temperature is fluctuating outside or there could be an issue with the unit's efficiency. This situation might result in less fresh air circulating through your apartment, leading to stuffy noses and itchy eyes for your children.

It's not uncommon for people living in high-density areas like Dubai to experience such issues. With the frequent sandstorms that can bring in fine particles or dust, coupled with the use of air conditioning which can dry out indoor air, it’s crucial to ensure proper ventilation and filtration systems are functioning correctly.

Some factors could be contributing to your concerns:
• Dust Mites: These are common in warm and humid environments like Dubai.
• Pollens from Sandstorms or Plants:
• Fumes from Building Materials or Cleaning Products:

I recommend conducting a professional inspection of your apartment's air quality. At SaniService, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments which include testing for allergens, mold, and other contaminants that could be causing discomfort.
