 Information
on Humidifiers and Benefits
of a Home Humidifier
Medical experts recommend a relative air humidity between 40 and 60
percent. At these levels our senses tell us the air in the room is
ideally humidified. This humidity level also is ideal for our health,
for the animals and plants in the room, for furniture, musical
instruments and much more. When room humidity is at an ideal level, we
feel good. We are better able to concentrate and the number of errors
and accidents is reduced dramatically.
Home humidifiers are beneficial because... Dry air is a massive health
risk for people. Besides feeling unwell, being tired and lacking
concentration, the mucous membranes in the nose and respiratory tract
are attacked, greatly increasing susceptibility to infection. Tests in
nursery schools have shown that when humidifiers are used absences due
to sickness are reduced by 40%.
A home humidifier is important... Especially in winter because many
people attempt to humidify the air by opening windows. but this instinct
is wrong! Because cold outside air cannot hold much moisture, opening
windows makes the room air even dryer, intensifying the problem. While
the air streaming into the room in winter may be very fresh, it contains
insufficient moisture to humidify warm room air. If moisture is not
added to the air artificially, it will try to quench its thirst by
taking the moisture from our skin, mucous membranes, plants, wooden
furniture, etc. To maintain an acceptable level of air humidity during
the cold season, we need to use a suitable air humidifier.
We need home humidifiers because... Dry air also stresses household pets
and house plants, encourages the formation of dust and the electrostatic
charging of textiles made of synthetic fibers, carpets and plastic
flooring, and damages furnishings made of wood and parquet including
wood floors. Sensitive electronic equipment can be damaged beyond
repair.
