Brief description of air humidifier 

An air humidifier, as the name suggests, is a household appliance that increases the humidity in a room. An air humidifier can humidify a specific room, or it can be connected to a boiler or central air conditioning system to humidify an entire building.

The role of the air humidifier 

Air humidifiers are generally found in cities, and rural people rarely use them. The main reason for using them in cities is that the air in the city is not as good as the air in the countryside, especially in winter, because the air conditioner works for a long time, it is easy to give people Causes moisture loss, so many people like to use air humidifiers.

1. Increase humidity

Increasing humidity is the main and most basic function of a humidifier. Especially for the dry weather in the northern winter, the humidity in the air will become lower after heating. Not only will the human body be affected to a certain extent, but the dry air will also have an impact on furniture, etc., and even cause a lot of harm. The humidifier can increase the humidity in the air, make the human body feel comfortable, and also prevent many hazards caused by dry air.

2. Moisturize the skin

Hot summers and extremely dry winters lead to excessive loss of skin moisture and accelerate the aging of life. Only moist air can maintain vitality. The product creates a foggy oxygen bar, nourishes the skin, promotes blood circulation and metabolism of facial cells, soothes Nervousness, eliminate fatigue, make you radiant.

3. Protect the respiratory tract

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

4. Slow down furniture aging

In a dry environment, furniture, books or musical instruments will accelerate aging, deformation and even cracking. To store the above items, the indoor humidity needs to be kept between 45%-65%RH, and the indoor humidity in winter is much lower than this standard. Humidifiers increase the humidity in the air, keeping the room as warm as spring, and furniture and books can be kept longer.

5. Get rid of static electricity

Static electricity is ubiquitous in autumn and winter; we often feel sizzling when we touch any object. The humidifier reduces the probability of static electricity, and you no longer have to worry about being charged.

 

Hazards of air humidifiers

Air humidifier, in the dry winter, especially in the room with heating in the north, can undoubtedly make it more cool and moisturizing. However, while humidifiers add humidity to the room, they may also quietly endanger our health in another way, so everyone should not underestimate the harm of air humidifiers, and use air humidifiers carefully.

1. Easy to breed bacteria

The working principle of the air humidifier is to increase the water content in the air, atomize the water into ultra-fine particles, moisten the air, and increase negative oxygen ions. However, while humidifying the air, the humidifier also provides a growth environment for the growth and proliferation of bacteria. People with relatively weak resistance, such as the elderly and children, may suffer from coughing or asthma after inhaling bacteria.

2. Air pollution

The water mist sprayed by the humidifier will form small water droplets when it encounters cold air, wrapping the dust in the room. This also happens when the humidifier is not cleaned in time and scales are formed. Calcium and magnesium ions from hard water can pollute the air. Pollutant particles should be free to settle, and when using an ultrasonic humidifier, the large water droplets ejected can easily adhere to these airborne pollutants. Increased the probability of people inhaling PM2.5.

3. There are radiation hazards

The more popular humidifiers on the market are mostly ultrasonic spray types. Although this ultrasonic technology does little damage to the human ear, placing it too close to a person can still have a subtle effect. Radiation from humidifiers is also not small. There are hidden dangers in frequent contact. Pregnant women or babies' rooms should avoid getting too close to the humidifier.

4. Aggravate rheumatism and other diseases

Humid air can aggravate conditions such as arthritis and diabetes. Therefore, hospitals with strict requirements are generally prohibited from air humidifiers.

Correct use of air humidifier

1. It should be used when the humidity is less than 80%. When using it, keep it away from heat sources, on a stable surface of 0.5 to 1.5 meters high.

2. It is recommended to use pure water, tap water is not suitable, the water temperature is below 40 degrees, and other chemicals cannot be added to the water.

3. Do not touch the water surface with your hands, and do not use it in an empty box. According to their own requirements for humidity, reasonably adjust the spray volume and constant humidity value.

4. Use a soft brush to clean the humidifier, or use a soft cloth to scrub, and the cleaning water temperature should not exceed 50 degrees. Do not use detergent, kerosene, alcohol lamps to clean the body and interior.

5. Do not disassemble the parts of the humidifier by yourself. Stop the humidifier immediately when it encounters a fault. It is not suitable to use it in freezing conditions and keep away from open flames.

Tips: If the air humidifier cannot be used correctly, the scattered dust and various microorganisms on the items will multiply rapidly when the temperature is suitable, the bacteria will expand, and vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children will be easily infected after inhalation.
