Should I urgently check air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last month, I noticed a persistent haze lingering in my living room, even with the windows tightly shut. It’s concerning because the air feels thick and hard to breathe, especially when the kids are playing. Given how long we've been experiencing this, is it urgent that I start looking into an air purifier or contacting a professional for an assessment?

Absolutely, it's crucial to check your air quality especially after those intense sandstorms. The situation you're describing sounds like you might be dealing with some serious particulate matter and possibly even microorganisms that can thrive under such conditions.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen a variety of factors affecting indoor air quality (IAQ). Sandstorms are one significant contributor, as they introduce high levels of dust and fine particles into the atmosphere. However, IAQ issues often don't just end there. Molds, viruses, and bacteria can also flourish in stagnant air, leading to respiratory discomfort.

Given your concerns and the duration you've noted these issues, it would be wise to have a professional assessment done. This is not only for peace of mind but also to ensure that any potential health risks are addressed promptly. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environments, including standards for IAQ that can help identify if there's an urgent need for action.

You might want to consider having your home inspected by professionals who specialize in this area. They can provide you with a detailed report on the current state of your indoor air quality and recommend appropriate measures. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive inspections and remediation services tailored specifically for environments like yours. Our team is equipped with the latest technology to detect even the smallest issues.

If you decide to go this route, please don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Early intervention can often prevent more serious health concerns and ensure a healthier living environment for your family.

Remember, while air purifiers are a good temporary measure, they may not address the root causes of poor IAQ like sand particles or molds that can grow in stagnant environments. A professional assessment will help you understand exactly what's going on and how to mitigate these issues effectively.

Keep in mind, if you notice any unusual symptoms among family members such as coughing, wheezing, or increased allergies, it’s even more imperative to seek professional help quickly.
