Should I seek professional help for smelly air?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy smoke from a nearby construction site settled a few days ago, I’ve noticed a lingering smell in my living room that doesn’t seem to go away, even with ventilation. My family has been complaining of headaches and nasal congestion, which concerns me. Should I try to fix this myself or do I need professional help to ensure the air quality is safe?

Absolutely, it sounds like the lingering smell could be more than just construction dust. In Dubai and UAE, there are strict regulations regarding air quality, especially post-construction activities. It's highly recommended to seek professional help for a thorough inspection and remediation if your family is experiencing health issues such as headaches or nasal congestion.
The smoke from nearby construction sites can contain harmful particles like VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and other irritants that might not be fully removed by regular ventilation alone. In my experience, these pollutants can persist in indoor environments and cause discomfort, which aligns with your family's symptoms. I would suggest contacting a professional environmental inspection and remediation company, such as Saniservice, who have the expertise to conduct a detailed air quality assessment of your home. They will use advanced equipment like gas chromatography or other specialized tools to identify the exact sources of the smell and any potential pollutants in the air. Saniservice offers services that include but are not limited to: 1. Air Quality Testing: Identifying particulates, VOCs, carbon monoxide, and other potentially harmful substances. 2. Remediation Services: Addressing identified issues with targeted cleaning or chemical neutralizers. 3. Ventilation Assessments: Evaluating the effectiveness of your current ventilation systems and recommending improvements if necessary. Given that you're in the UAE, it's crucial to ensure compliance with local building codes and health standards. The Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD) has stringent guidelines for indoor air quality, especially in residential areas near construction sites. Seeking professional help can also ensure that your home meets these regulatory requirements and provides a healthier living environment for you and your family. To get started, feel free to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They'll be able to schedule an inspection promptly and provide a detailed report on the state of indoor air quality in your home along with actionable recommendations. Remember, your health is important, so don't delay seeking professional assistance for this issue. |
