Could green patches be mold affecting my kids?« Back to Previous Page

The greenish patches that you're noticing could indeed be mold. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such conditions are not uncommon due to humidity and frequent rainfall as you mentioned. Mold spores thrive in moist environments and can produce a musty odor—this is what you likely detected.

In your case, considering the recent heavy rains followed by the greenish patches on the walls near your son's windowsill, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, particularly in residential areas where health and safety are paramount. According to the UAE standards, any signs of mold growth should not be overlooked, especially if they're affecting your children who may suffer from increased coughing.

Here’s what you can do:
1. Document the Condition: Take photos or videos to document the extent of the patches. This will help in assessing the severity and ensuring thorough remediation.
2. Ventilation Check: Ensure that the windows and other ventilation systems are working properly. In Dubai, due to the climate, it's crucial to maintain good airflow.
3. Contact Professionals: Given the specific conditions in your area, I highly recommend reaching out to a certified environmental inspection company like ours at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment and remediation plan.
