Is moisture causing our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in my living room, especially after the AC turns on. My allergies seem to be acting up more than usual, and both my daughter and husband have been experiencing coughing fits that seem to get worse at night. Could this all be related to the moisture buildup? What can I do to clean and ensure a healthier environment?

Yes, it’s very likely that moisture from the heavy rains has led to some issues in your home. The damp smell and persistent coughing fits could be signs of a moisture problem. In Dubai, high humidity coupled with rainy weather can indeed trigger allergies and respiratory problems.

Given the specific environment you live in, I would recommend having a professional inspection done to confirm if there's any mold growth or other issues that might be affecting your health. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and dampness control, so it’s important to address this properly.

To start addressing these concerns, ensure your AC system is functioning well as it can help reduce humidity levels in the living room. Regularly check for any water leaks or signs of moisture damage such as peeling paint, dark spots on walls, or musty odors. If you notice these issues, immediately clean and dry the area thoroughly.

Consider investing in a dehumidifier to control indoor moisture especially during rainy seasons. For larger areas like your living room, make sure there’s proper ventilation or use an air purifier that can filter out allergens.
