Is persistent haze after dust storm harming family?« Back to Previous Page

The haze you're noticing in your living room after the dust storm can indeed be concerning, especially for family members. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience dusty conditions due to sandstorms or construction activities. However, if this haze persists and is accompanied by coughing and runny noses, it's important to address this issue promptly.

Firstly, I would like to remind you that in the UAE, indoor air quality (IAQ) can be affected by a variety of factors including dust, allergens, and even pollutants from certain building materials. The recent sandstorm might have introduced high levels of particulate matter into your home which could still linger despite thorough cleaning.

To better understand what’s causing these symptoms in you and your kids, I recommend getting a professional indoor air quality inspection. Companies like Saniservice offer reliable services that can help identify the source of the problem and suggest appropriate solutions. You can contact them through their hotline 800-MOLDS or via email at hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Additionally, you might consider using an air purifier to improve IAQ temporarily until a professional assessment is completed. Opting for a HEPA filter model will help capture fine particles that could be causing respiratory issues. Also, ensure your home is well-ventilated when the weather permits—opening windows for short periods can reduce indoor concentrations of dust and other irritants.

Regular maintenance of HVAC systems is also crucial in reducing indoor pollutants. If you haven't done so recently, it's a good idea to have your air conditioning units checked and cleaned by professionals who are familiar with local environmental conditions.

Remember, maintaining good IAQ not only improves comfort but can also prevent health issues. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
