How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Khaleej Times

Every year, World Asthma Day serves as a crucial reminder of the challenges faced by millions living with asthma worldwide. In Dubai, where rapid urbanisation, desert dust, and high humidity contribute to poor air quality, asthma and respiratory conditions are a significant concern.

How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

According to recent studies, the UAE has one of the highest prevalence rates of asthma in the region, with environmental factors playing a major role.

UNDERSTANDING ASTHMA AND UAE'S UNIQUE CHALLENGES

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by inflamed airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. Triggers often include dust, pollen, pollution, pet dander, and mold - all common in the UAE's environment. The cities’ frequent dust storms and sandstorms, coupled with indoor allergens from air-conditioned spaces, create a perfect storm for asthma sufferers. Especially for families with young children and pet owners, who are more vulnerable to air pollution, while indoor allergens can worsen asthma symptoms.

However, many residents don’t realise that indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air. With people spending more than half of their time indoors, ensuring clean air at home and work is critical for asthma management.

This World Asthma Day, the focus is not just on awareness but also on actionable solutions - one of the most effective being high - performance air purifiers.

The role of advanced air purification technology in combating asthma triggers.
