Should I worry about basement odor affecting family health?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heatwave, we've noticed a strange musty odor coming from our basement storage area where we keep most of our winter clothes. It's only noticeable when the doors are opened, but it's concerning given how often my children go down there to get toys and clothes. Given that we’re in Dubai and the municipality has specific guidelines for indoor air quality, should I be worried about this smell affecting my family’s health?
