9. Keep Your Home Environment Healthy
- AC filters — clean monthly in the UAE/Qatar; replace every 3–6 months
- Humidity — keep indoor humidity between 40–60%; too dry irritates airways, too humid promotes mould
- Chemical cleaners — switch to natural or low-VOC cleaning products
- Carpets and rugs — vacuum with a HEPA filter vacuum; they trap dust mites and allergens
- Pets — groom regularly; pet dander is a common lung irritant
