Is odorous dust causing air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, odorous dust can indeed cause air quality issues. The particles from the recent dust storms might contain various allergens and irritants that could be contributing to the lingering odor and your family's respiratory discomfort.

In Dubai and UAE, it is important to follow local guidelines which may not always explicitly mention indoor air quality but do emphasize on maintaining a healthy living environment. If you're concerned about the air quality in your home, especially after such an event, I'd recommend getting a professional inspection to identify the source of the odor and ensure that it's safe for your family.

Here are some steps you can take to improve air quality:

Firstly, keep windows closed to prevent further dust entry. Utilize high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your air conditioning units as they can trap particles including those with odors effectively.

Secondly, use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels which might be contributing to mold growth - a common issue post-dust storms. Ensure you clean and maintain this equipment properly to avoid secondary contamination.

Thirdly, employ professional services for deep cleaning of your carpets, upholstery, and other soft furnishings where dust can settle. This is particularly crucial in high-traffic areas like the living room.

Lastly, don’t forget to check your HVAC system as it might be a source or even a collector of odorous particles. Regular maintenance by certified technicians is recommended.

If you notice persistent issues, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional inspection and remediation services. Remember, maintaining a healthy home environment is key, especially with the recent weather conditions.

Take care of your family's health by taking these steps - it’s worth the effort to breathe easy in your home!
