Is persistent indoor haze harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent haze even with the windows closed. The air feels thick in my bedroom, especially at night when it’s hardest to breathe. My spouse has been complaining of headaches and my kids have had more coughing fits than usual this week. Can someone advise if this is something that can be managed on my own or if I need professional help?

Is Persistent Indoor Haze Harmful?

Absolutely, persistent indoor haze can be quite harmful. The thick air you're experiencing could very well have implications for your health and that of your family. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen a significant increase in dust storms during certain times of the year, leading to such conditions. It's not uncommon, especially after a dust storm, to find lingering particles inside homes, despite windows being shut.

The air you’re breathing now may contain more than just dust; it could include allergens, pollutants from construction or renovation work that might have occurred in your area, and even fine particulate matter (PM2.5) which can deeply impact the respiratory system. Given these factors, it's crucial to consider a few steps to ensure everyone’s health isn't compromised.

Firstly, try using air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters; they are specifically designed to capture tiny particles including dust and allergens that may be causing your family discomfort. Also, keep indoor humidity levels in check by using dehumidifiers as high humidity can encourage mold growth which is another common issue post-dust storm.

However, if the haze persists despite these measures, it's advisable to seek professional help. In Dubai, companies like ours offer thorough inspections and remediation services that can identify any underlying issues contributing to poor air quality. We have local regulations such as those outlined in the UAE's Environmental Protection Law that we strictly follow, ensuring our work meets the highest standards.
