Should I be worried about health after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve been experiencing a persistent cough and my little one has been sneezing non-stop. The air feels thick in our second-floor apartment and it’s really concerning me since the ducts haven’t been cleaned in years. Have any of you noticed similar issues or should I be concerned about the health effects?

Absolutely, after the dust storm we had last month, it's quite understandable to be concerned about indoor air quality and potential health effects. The thick feeling in your apartment and persistent cough could indeed be related to dust particles that may have entered through unfiltered HVAC systems or directly into your living space.
In the UAE, especially in Dubai, regular duct cleaning is highly recommended given our climate and frequent sand storms. According to local regulations, maintaining clean and well-maintained air ducts can significantly improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and reduce allergens that could trigger symptoms like coughing or sneezing, particularly in children. Given the severity of your concerns and the duration of these issues, it's advisable to have a professional inspection done. This will help identify any build-up of dust or other particulates within the ducts that might be contributing to your health complaints. Saniservice, for instance, offers comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored specifically for Dubai’s environmental conditions. Remember, keeping your air ducts clean can greatly impact the overall indoor environment and could potentially alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, regular maintenance checks ensure that your HVAC system is operating efficiently, which also benefits energy consumption and costs in the long run.
