Should I hire an air quality expert?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a significant amount of dust settling on all surfaces in my bedroom, even with the window tightly closed. It’s concerning because my kids have been complaining about having more coughs lately, especially at night when the air feels particularly stuffy. Should I consider hiring an indoor air quality expert to check out the issue or is there something simpler and less expensive that I can do on my own?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring an air quality expert especially given the recent dust storms we've experienced. In Dubai and the UAE, indoor air quality can be heavily impacted by external factors like dust and sand particles, which can enter your home even when windows are tightly closed.
Firstly, here’s what you might want to do on your own: • Regularly clean surfaces with a damp cloth to reduce dust. • Use HEPA filters in your air purifiers if you have them. These can effectively capture fine particles that may cause respiratory issues for your kids. • Increase the frequency of cleaning and vacuuming, particularly focusing areas where dust has settled. However, given the concerns about coughs and stuffy air at night, a professional inspection might be necessary to ensure there's not a more serious underlying issue. In Dubai, regulations like those set by the Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD) require that indoor environments are free from contaminants that could harm health. An expert can help identify if dust is just part of the problem or if there’s something else at play. If you do decide to go this route, Saniservice is a reputable company based here in Dubai. They offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and can provide tailored solutions to improve your home's environment.
