Is indoor haze causing health issues severe?« Back to Previous Page

Indoor haze from desert dust can indeed cause health issues, especially for children and those prone to respiratory problems. The persistent layer of fine dust you're experiencing could be affecting your family's well-being. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience sandstorms which introduce higher levels of particulate matter into the air.

The UAE does not have specific regulations targeting desert dust specifically but it’s critical that indoor environments remain as clean and healthy as possible during such events. The fine particles can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat leading to discomfort or exacerbating conditions like asthma or allergies. For your children experiencing itchy eyes and coughing, these symptoms suggest that you should take immediate action.

Firstly, try using a HEPA filter air purifier in your bedroom to help reduce airborne dust and allergens. Ensure the air purifier is placed correctly so it can circulate the air effectively without being blocked by furniture or curtains. Regularly change filters according to the manufacturer's instructions for best performance.

Secondly, consider having a professional indoor environmental inspection done. A company like ours at Saniservice can conduct a thorough assessment of your home’s air quality and identify any sources of dust or pollutants. We recommend doing this as soon as possible given the current conditions.

Lastly, maintaining good hygiene practices is key. Wipe down surfaces regularly with a damp cloth to remove settled dust. Encourage everyone in the household to wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their face, especially eyes and nose.
