Should I be worried about bedroom haze?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I’ve noticed a persistent haze in my bedroom that lingers even after running the air purifier. The windows are usually closed due to dust outside, but now I’m worried it might be causing breathing issues for everyone. When should I start addressing this more seriously?

Absolutely, it's wise to be concerned about the haze in your bedroom. In the UAE, particularly during sandstorms like we experienced recently, indoor air quality can drastically drop and pose health risks, especially for those who are sensitive or have respiratory issues.
Given the situation you've described, it’s important to consider a few key points: Firstly, the persistent haze could be due to more than just fine dust. There may also be other pollutants present such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold spores, or even pet dander that your air purifier might not fully address. In Dubai, we often see an increase in respiratory issues during and after sandstorms. This is especially concerning for residents who are already dealing with the indoor environment being closed off due to dust outside. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations on air quality in residential settings post-sandstorm but ensuring good indoor air quality remains crucial. If the haze persists, it might be time to call in a professional environmental inspection and remediation service. At Saniservice, we can help you identify any hidden pollutants and provide solutions tailored for your home environment. Our services are available through 800-MOLDS or by emailing hello@saniservice.com. Until then, continue using your air purifier but also ensure that your bedroom is as dust-free as possible. Regularly cleaning surfaces and using HEPA filters can help reduce particle levels. Also, check for any dampness or water leakage which could encourage mold growth. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about comfort—it's about health. If you start experiencing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or a runny nose, it might be time to act faster. |
