Humidification hazards of humidifiers

　　Indoor air humidification can be done by sprinkling water or placing a water basin, but the most convenient way is to use a humidifier. Many families have bought humidifiers and keep them on 24 hours a day. However, experts point out that humidifiers can increase the likelihood of developing respiratory diseases.

　　When using a humidifier, it is important to clean it regularly, otherwise microorganisms such as mold in the humidifier can enter the air with the vapor mist and enter the respiratory tract, which can easily lead to humidifier pneumonia. In addition, the higher the humidity of the air, the better. In winter, the comfortable humidity for the human body is around 50%. If the humidity is too high, people will feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing, so it is better to add humidity in moderation.

　　In order to improve the dry indoor environment, many households have used humidifiers. While people enjoy humid air, various indoor bacteria also grow and breed in this environment, which are the main culprits causing pneumonia and respiratory diseases.

　　This disease, known as "humidifier pneumonia" by doctors, is similar to the common "air conditioning disease" in summer. It is caused by harmful microorganisms entering the human respiratory tract through the air and causing inflammation.

　　Various microorganisms floating in the air, scattered in dust, and on objects, once the temperature and humidity are suitable, they will quickly grow and reproduce. Elderly people, children, and others with relatively weak resistance are prone to infection after inhaling bacteria. In addition to bacteria, common indoor microorganisms in winter include mold and actinomycetes, which can cause pneumonia or respiratory diseases. The phlegm and cough caused by these diseases can also accelerate the spread of bacteria.
