Humidity level in a room is very important for creation of a truly healthy and comfortable microclimate.
Insufficiently moist air will not have a healthy influence on the health and condition of people and items, as well as excessive moisture in a room will have multiple adverse consequences.
What is the danger of increased air humidity?
For health
According to scientists, a man loses about 900 grams of moisture. This value is optimal for the well-being of a man. At the same time, if a man is in a room with increased humidity, the process of moisture evaporation slows down and becomes more complex. In a humid room, a man begins to absorb more and lose less moisture. In the end, excessive moisture stay in the system making well-being significantly worse. As a result, there is an increasing load on a human body, and it is the heart which suffers from increased humidity which is dangerous for those who suffer from heart diseases.
Increased humidity is also harmful for people suffering from asthma since it causes cramps, bronchial swelling and, as a result, respiratory difficulty.
It is also difficult for people suffering from degenerative disc diseases and arthritis to overcome increased humidity.
Mould spores feel well and flourish in a humid environment: fungi on walls not only destroy wallpapers and exterior appearance but fungi spores are capable of penetrating lungs and other human organs, resulting in various diseases which are not always easy to detect which may cause dire consequences for human health.
Many types of mould are referred to pathogenic forms. Prolonged exposure can result in internal bleeding, kidney and liver damage, pulmonary emphysema. Diseases caused by mould are called mycoses.
The cause and main accelerant of spreading of mould and its toxic spores is increased humidity.
For furniture items and interior on the whole
Unfortunately, increased humidity often causes damage to furniture, hardwood flooring and interior elements.
Apart from adverse impact of mould on human health, mould has a significant effect on unprotected wooden structures. First of all, this refers to wood deteriorating mushrooms capable of turning wood into rotten wood in a short period of time.
If permissible humidity in an apartment exceeds over 70%, there is inevitable growth of bacteria and fungi spores that can settle on walls or furniture resulting in expensive repairs.
It should be noted that this adverse impact of increased humidity does not stop there. At high air humidity, resistance quality of electrical insulating materials deteriorates, including air itself as electrical insulator. This causes uncontrollable malfunctions of equipment that can develop into large accidents and disasters primarily due to short circuits.
Rotting of products
Another harmful impact of increased air humidity is rapid rotting of food products. Rapid growth of mould on baked goods, consolidated powders and sugar, shortened expiration date of foods products. Moldy baked goods and dairy products must be definitely discarded in their entirety (since they have porous structure and mould spreads not only on the surface but to the very center of a product or baked goods). Therefore, this is why it is important to closely monitor humidity in product storage rooms.
Climatic characteristics of regions
Increased air humidity is undoubtedly related to climatic characteristics of some regions in our country.
Regions most susceptible to increased humidity:
as well as regions of Russia adjacent to seas.
How can you make yourself and your loved ones safe having ensured the optimal humidity level in a room?
Timberk has a solution!
Normalizing the humidity level and bringing it to an optimal value is a task excellently performed by such domestic appliances as air dehumidifiers.
The air dehumidifier allows to reach set humidity parameters in a rooms and make microclimate most comfortable.
