Health benefits of using a dehumidifier

The transmission routes of COVID-19 include respiratory droplets, touching surfaces or objects contaminated by the virus, short distance aerosol or air transmission. Viruses can also spread in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor environments. The droplets usually come out by coughing and sneezing, and their transmission distance in the air is very limited, about one to two meters. The droplets will soon settle out of the human body and will not float in the air.

The droplets can settle, which means that there will be viruses on the surface of the surrounding objects. Contact transmission refers to touching surfaces or objects contaminated by viruses with both hands, such as door handles, elevator buttons and express delivery. If your hands are contaminated with virus and you do not wash them in time, touching your nose and mouth will lead to infection. Existing studies have found that viruses can survive for hours on these smooth surfaces.

The relationship between virus transmission and the environment

If the temperature and humidity are appropriate, the virus may survive for several days. Studies have found that the virus may survive for up to 5 days in an environment with a temperature of 20 ℃ and a relative humidity of 40% to 50%. Based on this discovery, if some infected people sneeze without wearing masks, the virus will pollute the door handles or elevator buttons. If some people touch these places later, do not wash their hands, and then rub their eyes and touch their nose, the virus may be spread through contact. Therefore, please wash your hands frequently, which is a particularly important point.

Control humidity and reduce the virus survival rate

While paying attention to washing hands frequently, we can actually carry out prevention and control through other aspects. As mentioned above, the conditions under which the virus may survive for 5 days are 20 ℃ temperature and 40% to 50% relative humidity. Therefore, if the temperature is fixed, we can reduce the possibility of virus survival by improving the humidity. Around the world, there are obvious rainy seasons in many regions. The advent of the rainy season has kept the relative humidity high, providing a hotbed for the breeding of mold and the transmission of viruses.

Living in this rainy season, people themselves will feel uncomfortable. The office environment is hot and humid, the skin is sweaty and sticky, the clothes at home will never dry, and the room and wardrobe have a musty smell… For people with poor resistance, such as the elderly and children, this season also easy to causes rheumatic pain, eczema, and other joint diseases and skin diseases. In addition, high humidity in the air will also cause a large number of viruses and bacteria to multiply, endangering human health. At ordinary times, office workers working in office buildings, people going to and from shopping malls, workers in workshops, etc. will face all kinds of discomfort caused by high air humidity, which may also bring health problems. Preair is one of the best dehumidifier factories in China. There are commercial dehumidifiers, industrial dehumidifiers, and home dehumidifiers offered by Preair. Customized products are also ok.

Preair dehumidifier protects your health

In order to protect people’s health, Preair suggests that indoor dehumidification and mildew removal should be done well in the rainy season. How to remove water from the air? The dehumidifier is one of the best choices. Using the dehumidifier is the fastest dehumidification method at present. When the dehumidifier is started in the rainy season, the heater inside the dehumidifier will heat the moist air inhaled, then condense it into dew through the condenser, and store it in the water tank. Finally, the dehumidifier will discharge dry and warm air. The damp crisis was easily solved with the help of a dehumidifier.

It should be noted that when using the dehumidifier, the doors and windows of the room should be closed to form a relatively closed space. At the same time, it is better to put it in the center of the room, leaving enough space around it. If you want to use the dehumidifier more efficiently, you can also place an electric fan indoors to blow toward the dehumidifier, which can accelerate the airflow and speed up the cooling and dehumidification.
