The relative humidity of ideal air is over 60%, but it can reach values below 15%, which poses a risk to health. Some of the consequences of low air humidity for health are:
- dry mouth, eyes, nose, and throat
- dry cough
- excessive thirst
- itchy eyes
- dry skin
- tiredness
- indisposition
- difficult breathing
In addition, respiratory allergies can arise that make perfect oxygenation of the brain causing cases of dizziness and vertigo. Those most likely to suffer from these consequences are children and the elderly because their immune system is weakened.
To increase the air humidity rate in the home you can use solutions such as having an air humidifier inside the room or putting a wet bath towel on the head of the bed, or a chair in the room, for example.
