Is musty smell from mold harming my family?« Back to Previous Page

Hello there! The musty smell and the increase in coughing fits for your kids could indeed be signs of mold growth. In Dubai and the UAE, mold can thrive in humid conditions like those created by heavy rains, especially if areas are not properly dried out.

Mold spores can cause respiratory issues, particularly in children and individuals with allergies or asthma. The damp environment is a perfect breeding ground for dust mites as well, which could exacerbate allergic reactions leading to coughing fits and other symptoms.

Firstly, it's advisable to have your home inspected by professionals who are familiar with the local regulations and conditions. In the UAE, the Environmental Health Regulations stipulate that buildings must maintain an appropriate level of cleanliness and hygiene to prevent contamination. A professional inspection can help identify the extent of mold growth and suggest remediation steps.

Here’s what you could do right away:
1. Open windows and use fans to increase air circulation in your bedroom.
2. Use dehumidifiers or air purifiers to reduce moisture levels, especially during rainy seasons.
3. Clean surfaces with a mixture of water and detergent to remove mold spores.
4. Check for any leaks around windows, doors, or pipes that could be contributing to the humidity.

If you find significant mold growth, do not attempt to clean it yourself as improper handling can spread spores throughout your home.
