What is the function of a humidifier?

With the improvement of people's living standards and the widespread use of air conditioning, air conditioning diseases such as tight skin, dry mouth and tongue, cough and cold have emerged. Air humidity is closely related to human health and daily life.

The main function of a humidifier is to increase the humidity of indoor air. Generally speaking, the humidity of indoor air should be between 40% and 60%, and the temperature should be between 20-25℃. If the air is too dry, it is easy to generate static electricity, floating dust and other problems, which can also affect people's skin, respiratory tract and other health. Therefore, the function of a humidifier is to increase the humidity of indoor air by spraying water mist.

#1: The Functions of Humidifier

1. IMPROVE INDOOR HUMIDITY:

   During autumn and winter or when using air conditioning, indoor air often becomes dry. A dry environment may cause symptoms such as tight skin, dry mouth and tongue, cough and cold. Using a humidifier can improve this dry indoor environment, making the air more humid and making people feel more comfortable.

   
   

2. BENEFICIAL FOR HEALTH:

   Within a suitable humidity range, the human body's physiology and thinking can be in good condition, and the efficiency of work and rest can also be improved. In addition, healthy humidity can inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, and enhance immunity. Some humidifiers also have the function of purifying the environment, effectively removing moldy, smoky, and unpleasant odors, making the air fresher.

   
   

3. MOISTURIZE THE SKIN:

   In dry seasons, human skin is prone to losing moisture. Using a humidifier can moisturize the skin, promote blood circulation and metabolism of facial cells, relieve nerve tension, eliminate fatigue, and make people radiant.

   
   

4. PROTECT RESPIRATORY TRACT:

   Dry air can easily cause respiratory diseases, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children. Humidifiers can increase the humidity in the air, thereby protecting the respiratory tract and reducing the chance of respiratory infections.

   
   

5. SLOWING DOWN FURNITURE AGING:

   In dry environments, furniture, books, or musical instruments can accelerate aging, deformation, and even cracking. Humidifiers increase the humidity in the air, which helps to preserve and extend the lifespan of these items.

   
   

6. ELIMINATE STATIC ELECTRICITY:

   Static electricity is more common in autumn and winter seasons. Humidifiers can reduce the probability of static electricity and minimize the inconvenience caused by it.

#2: Precautions for Using Humidifier

1. REGULAR CLEANING:

   When using a humidifier, it is necessary to regularly clean the inside of the machine and the water tank to prevent the growth of mold and other microorganisms in the humidifier from entering the air with the mist and entering the respiratory tract, which can easily lead to respiratory diseases or pneumonia. It is generally recommended to clean once a week.

   
   

2. PAY ATTENTION TO HUMIDITY:

   When using a humidifier, pay attention to changes in indoor humidity to avoid high or low humidity. It is generally recommended that indoor humidity be between 40% and 60%.

   
   

3. AVOID PROLONGED USE:

   Prolonged use of humidifiers can cause indoor air to become too humid, which can have an impact on health. It is generally recommended to stop using it every 2-3 hours to allow indoor air circulation.

   
   

4. PATIENTS SHOULD USE WITH CAUTION:

   Patients with arthritis and diabetes should use air humidifier with caution. Damp air will aggravate arthritis and diabetes, so it is generally not recommended for such patients.

In summary, humidifiers, as a common household appliance, play an important role and benefit in increasing indoor air humidity, purifying air, and regulating indoor temperature. When selecting and using, one should choose and pay attention to safety issues according to the actual situation.
