Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, yes some patients if exposed to such an environment may have an increased the tendency to develop sinusitis.
However, if it's causing sinusitis in your case or not can't be established without proper workup.
Allergic and infective causes both may contribute to sinusitis and you should have otolaryngologist review and drainage of paranasal sinuses if needed and to be sent to puss cultures to isolate the bacteria.
And then send swabs from all those areas for cultures to see whether those were causing sinusitis in your case or not.
Similarly, allergy tests like skin prick or patch test may be needed too for any environmental allergen in your environment causing sinusitis.
However, this online suggestion may not carry any weight as evidence in a court of law.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
