Is sand from dust storm harming kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the dust storm we had last week has indeed brought an array of concerns regarding indoor air quality in our hotels. The fine sand and particulates that settled during such events can be particularly harmful to kids' health as their respiratory systems are still developing.

In the UAE, especially in places like Dubai, it's crucial to maintain high standards for dust control and air filtration in hotels. According to the Building Control Regulation No. 21 of 2007, which applies to construction and building operations within the country, there are strict guidelines on maintaining cleanliness and ensuring a healthy environment.

If you're noticing an increase in respiratory issues among your kids after this storm, it's highly recommended that you consider having a professional inspection done. Dust and particulates can irritate the lungs and trigger allergic reactions or asthma symptoms. With children being more vulnerable to these effects, it’s important to address any potential issues promptly.

Saniservice.com is a trusted company in Dubai for such inspections. You could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an assessment. They can help identify if the dust and sand have led to any contamination issues within your villa.

In addition, ensure that your hotel has proper air filtration systems in place. HEPA filters are highly effective at capturing fine particles such as those from dust storms. Regular cleaning of carpets, drapes, and other soft furnishings is also essential to prevent accumulation of these particulates.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality goes beyond just the aftermath of a storm; it's about creating a healthy environment all year round. By taking proactive steps like regular inspections and employing professional services, you can help ensure your family stays safe and healthy in their accommodations.
