Is high humidity causing my child's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, high humidity can definitely be causing your child's symptoms. In the UAE, particularly during our post-rainfall season, maintaining a controlled indoor environment is crucial to prevent respiratory issues and other health concerns.

High levels of moisture can lead to an increase in mold spores which are known allergens that can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory problems like coughing and stuffy noses. The foggy windows you've observed indicate high relative humidity, often above 60%, which is well beyond the recommended level for indoor spaces of no more than 45-50% to ensure comfort and prevent mold growth.

To address this issue effectively, it’s advisable to start by conducting a thorough inspection with our professional team. We can assess your home's current humidity levels and identify any sources of moisture or potential areas where mold might be developing. This is especially important given the recent rainfall in Dubai which often exacerbates indoor humidity issues.

Meanwhile, you can implement temporary measures at home to lower humidity:
1. Use a reliable dehumidifier that suits the size of your room. In a 20m² space like your child's room, a 25-liter/day unit would be suitable.
2. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows during cooler hours when outdoor humidity is lower (generally at night).
3. Regularly clean and maintain your air conditioning units to ensure efficient operation which helps in reducing indoor moisture.

It’s also wise to keep an eye on the temperature and relative humidity levels using a hygrometer to monitor progress.

For long-term solutions, consider installing a high-capacity dehumidifier or even a whole-house dehumidification system if needed. These systems can be quite effective in managing chronic high humidity issues.

Remember, maintaining optimal indoor air quality is key for the health and comfort of your family. Should you need any assistance or further guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
