Should I address persistent haze or is landlord responsible?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent haze in the living room that doesn't seem to settle no matter how many times we vacuum. The AC in my apartment seems to be doing its job fine, but the air still feels heavy and not very fresh. Are there any specific steps I should take as a tenant to address this issue or is it something the landlord needs to handle?

The haze you're noticing might be more than just dust lingering after the sandstorms. In dubai and UAE, it's important to consider indoor air quality as a key factor affecting your comfort and health. While your AC seems to function properly, there are steps you can take to improve the situation.
Firstly, i would recommend that you check if the filters in your ac unit need cleaning or replacing. Dirty filters can trap dust, allergens, and other particles which get circulated back into the air. In dubai, it's typical for sandstorms to carry more than just dirt - they can also bring in fine particulate matter like pollen and even microscopic organisms. Given the persistent nature of your issue, it might be wise to consult a professional service. Here in dubai, companies such as 'Saniservice' specialize in indoor air quality assessments. They can provide you with a detailed report on what's affecting the air quality and recommend appropriate remediation steps. In addition to professional help, there are some actions you can take yourself. Start by cleaning your living room thoroughly - use microfiber cloths for a deeper clean as they trap more dust than regular ones. Avoid using harsh chemicals; opt instead for natural or eco-friendly products that don’t release harmful fumes. Consider getting an air purifier if the problem persists. Air purifiers with HEPA filters are particularly effective at capturing fine particles like those carried by sandstorms. Lastly, make sure your apartment is well-ventilated when possible. Open windows (if safe during dust storms) to allow fresh air in and help dilute indoor pollutants. If you find that despite these measures the haze continues or if you experience any health issues related to it, definitely reach out to a professional for an inspection.
