What’s ‘sick building syndrome’? Meet the entrepreneur trying to make UAE homes safer to breathe

Sick Building Syndrome: Making UAE Homes Safer to Breathe

Entrepreneur Michael Hall is on a mission to combat "sick building syndrome" using NASA-developed air-purification technology.

When Hall's daughter began suffering from persistent wheezing after moving to the UAE, he suspected the air inside their home was the culprit. This discovery led him to found Eco Air Tech and become CEO of Mosskind.

"I installed the system at home, and having had my daughter wheeze for three or four months, the problem was gone within a couple of months,"

Hall's venture aims to tackle mould, bacteria, and airborne contaminants that thrive in the region's hot climate and HVAC-reliant buildings, bringing the technology to homes, schools, and hotels across the country.
