After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent coughing episode among our children, especially in the bedroom where they sleep. The air feels thick and it’s hard not to notice the fine particles floating around, even after cleaning. How urgent is it to address this situation, and what steps should I take immediately?

Is persistent cough from dust urgent?
Definitely! When your children are experiencing a recurring cough particularly in their bedroom after the recent heavy dust storm, it's important to take immediate action. Dust storms can bring in fine particles that may irritate and trigger asthma symptoms, especially among kids. In Dubai and the UAE, we have stringent environmental regulations aimed at maintaining air quality standards for public health. The persistent coughing might be more than just irritation; it could indicate a serious issue with indoor air quality (IAQ) in your home. Given the fine particles that seem to still be lingering despite cleaning efforts, it's wise to get a professional assessment. Firstly, ensure that everyone in the household practices good hygiene and keeps hands clean to avoid spreading any potential irritants or allergens. Use HEPA filters in your air conditioning system to help capture those tiny dust particles. Regularly vacuuming with a high-efficiency bag or filter can also reduce airborne pollutants. However, given how persistent this issue seems, I'd strongly advise scheduling an inspection by a professional. Here at Saniservice, we specialize in environmental inspections and remediation services for homes like yours. Our experts will assess your home’s IAQ, identify the sources of the dust, and recommend appropriate solutions to clean the air. If you're in Dubai or the UAE, do call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection. We can help ensure your home environment is safe for your family's health post-dust storm. Taking immediate action is key. Don't wait; your children’s comfort and health are too important! |
