Air Too Dry? Humidify!

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 by Dennie Plomedahl

Did you know....According to infoplease.com, dry air has four main effects on the human body:

1.  Breathing dry air is a potential health hazard which can cause such respiratory ailments as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, and nosebleeds, or general dehydration since body fluids are depleted during respiration.
2.  Skin moisture evaporation can cause skin irritations and eye itching.
3.  Irritative effects, such as static electricity which causes mild shocks when metal is touched, are common when the air moisture is low.
4.  The “apparent temperature” of the air is lower than what the thermometer indicates, and the body “feels” colder.

The solution to dry air- Humidify
Infoplease.com also mentions a simple solution to all these problems: increase the indoor relative humidity (RH).  Of course, this can be done through a number of methods, the most efficient of which is a whole-house humidifier from Aprilaire.  An Aprilaire humidifier works in conjunction with your home’s HVAC system to add soothing moisture to your entire home, not just a single room like a portable unit.  And, unlike a portable unit, Aprilaire whole-house humidifiers are virtually maintenance free, with no tanks to constantly fill and sanitize.
