Is the humidity inside your home too low? Dry air can be a real problem when it comes to your family's comfort and health. Ideal levels of humidity in rooms should range from 30 to 50 percent in the winter and from 40 to 50 percent in the summer. Lower levels of water vapor in the air can dry out and irritate skin. The respiratory system, which relies on moisture to fight off viruses and bacteria, dries out, making you more susceptible to colds, coughs, and asthma. And bothersome static electricity increases. Keeping humidity at the proper level often demands mechanical assistance. That's where humidifiers come in—they help add water vapor to the air. |
