The building maintenance said they found eco friendly in a neighboring apartment. Should I be worried about my unit? What precautions should I take?

Absolutely not! Eco-friendly products, whether they be cleaning agents, paints, or any other materials used for maintaining or improving indoor environmental quality, are specifically designed to minimize harm to both human health and the environment. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability and green practices due to stringent environmental regulations and initiatives such as the World Green Building Council's (WGBC) targets.
However, it’s important to understand that while eco-friendly products are generally safer for use, they can still pose potential issues if improperly used or stored. For instance, some natural-based cleaning agents might contain substances like citric acid or essential oils which could potentially react with certain surfaces or materials in your unit. Therefore, it is crucial to always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines and compatibility information before using these products. In Dubai, you should be aware of specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and material safety. The UAE Building Code, EN 15249, outlines standards for building materials and finishes, ensuring they do not compromise on structural integrity or pose a risk to occupants. Additionally, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure's environmental guidelines require that all building products meet certain performance criteria. If you are concerned about potential issues with eco-friendly products being used in neighboring units, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection. Companies like ours, Saniservice, can conduct thorough evaluations of your unit’s air quality, material integrity, and overall environmental conditions.
