Could mold be causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the symptoms your kids are exhibiting could be linked to mold. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can rise significantly after rainfall events like you experienced last month. Mold spores thrive in damp environments and can produce allergens that trigger respiratory issues such as coughing and runny noses.

In residential areas of Dubai, it's not uncommon for moisture to accumulate under windows or in corners where air circulation is poor. Regular cleaning might mask the issue but doesn't eliminate the underlying dampness that mold thrives on. This scenario aligns with what you've experienced, suggesting a possible mold infestation.

Under UAE regulations, specifically in Article 12 of Law No. 40 of 1985 (as amended), it is mandatory to maintain a clean and healthy environment within properties. Given the symptoms your children are experiencing, it would be wise to conduct a professional mold inspection. You can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

During an inspection, expect detailed checks of moisture levels, air quality, and visual assessments of potential mold growth. If mold is found, remediation steps will be recommended to ensure safe removal and prevent recurrence. This might include addressing the source of moisture, using appropriate cleaning agents, and implementing long-term strategies to maintain a dry environment.

Remember, early detection and action are key in mitigating health risks associated with mold exposure. Don't delay; act now to protect your family's well-being.
