THE HAZARDS OF LOW HUMIDITY
The
least expensive way to increase your comfort, reduce your heating cost
and even make the air healthier is to provide adequate humidity in your
home.
The recommended amount of relative humidity in you home is between 40-60%. The average humidity in the Sahara Desert is 25%. The average humidity in Death Valley is 23%. And the average humidity in a heated home without a humidifier is 15%.
In general, everyone feels miserable when they’re living with dry air. The following is a list of problems that occur when the humidity drops below 20%:
- Static electricity zaps anyone that touches a metal object.
- It’s more difficult to sleep at night
- Wood shrinks, causing furniture to crack and break.
- The piano slips out of tune.
- Heating cost rises because the body feels colder in dry air.
- Carpets deteriorate faster.
- Throats feel dry and parched.
- Nosebleeds are more common.
- Bacteria and viruses multiply much more rapidly.
- Allergenic and asthma symptoms are more pronounced.
All of these problems can be solved with the use of a humidifier that can keep the humidity between 40-60%
