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

Combating "Sick Building Syndrome" with NASA-Developed Air Purification Tech

Entrepreneur Michael Hall is on a mission to make UAE homes safer to breathe by introducing NASA-developed air purification technology.

Hall's journey began when his young daughter started suffering from persistent wheezing after moving to the UAE. He suspected that the air inside their home was the culprit, leading him to investigate "sick building syndrome," a hidden threat in tightly sealed, high-humidity environments.

"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, CEO of Mosskind and founder of Eco Air Tech, aims to tackle mould, bacteria, and airborne contaminants that thrive in the region's hot climate and HVAC-reliant buildings.

At GITEX Global 2025, Hall revealed his plans to bring this technology to homes, schools, and hotels across the country, providing a safer and healthier environment for everyone.
