ᐅ Dry indoor air

The air around us is not only inhaled and exhaled—it also affects mucous membranes, tears, and skin...

But aside from that: Here we are again with this mixture of lay knowledge and trivialities that I have criticized. I am talking about "relative humidity," which clearly indicates the extent to which the air is saturated with water vapor. You respond with information about "absolute humidity," which is so difficult to measure that it is rarely used, at least never to describe practical conditions.

Who made the statement about the health quality of "absolutely dry" air?

Dear Mr. Hertweck

I hope you are having a pleasant Sunday! Since I am not keen on speaking or writing, I refer you once again to Club of Home. (Current/Archive/17What is this nonsense)

Hello,

there is only one solution: frequent ventilation helps against dry air.

A large number of bacteria and mold fungi can develop in these radiator humidifiers. However, this can be prevented by adding sea salt to the water. It is best to do this from the very beginning, so that germs cannot develop in the first place.

So, we have a radiator humidifier. In winter, we always place a bowl of water on the heater. I find that this noticeably helps. Many plants also contribute to making the indoor climate more pleasant.

I’ve also noticed that the air in our living area is quite dry. Now I’m looking for information on how to address this. But it seems like there’s a lively discussion here.

We also ventilate thoroughly, so that can’t be the cause. I’ll take a closer look at one of those humidifiers.
