Should I hire an air quality specialist?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent odor in my son's bedroom that doesn't seem to go away no matter how much I clean. The air feels stuffy too, even with the AC running all day. Given our location in Mirdiff, where dust is common, should I consider hiring an indoor air quality specialist or could this be something minor and easily fixed?

Absolutely, it sounds like your concerns might be more than just a fleeting issue. With the recent dust storm and the persistent odor you've noticed in your son's bedroom, I'd definitely recommend considering an indoor air quality specialist. In Dubai and the UAE, we often face challenges with airborne particles due to our climate and geographic location.
The situation sounds like it could be linked to particulate matter from the dust storm or even mold growth which is a common issue post-dust events in areas like Mirdiff where the weather can change drastically. The stuffy feeling could also indicate poor ventilation, something that's crucial especially in this region with its intense summer heat and reliance on air conditioning. Here’s what I suggest: Firstly, it would be wise to have your home thoroughly inspected by a professional who understands the unique environmental challenges of our area. They can assess the situation accurately and advise you on any necessary steps or remediations. You might want to reach out to 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment. While waiting for inspection, ensure you're doing what you can at home. Open windows when it's safe to do so (make sure you’re not allowing more dust inside) and use HEPA filters in your air conditioning systems to help trap particulates. You might also want to invest in a dehumidifier if the area feels particularly humid, as this can deter mold growth. Remember, dealing with indoor air quality issues proactively is key, especially in an environment where such problems are common. A specialist will not only identify any existing issues but also provide guidance on long-term solutions and preventive measures to keep your home healthy for you and your family. So don’t hesitate – take the step towards ensuring a healthier living environment for everyone in your household. |
