F.A.Q. (Frequently asked questions) about Healthy Moisture

·        Moisture in the air is essential for good living ; a higher humidity level helps man to better breathe, especially in case lung desease.

·        A humidifier increases the rate of relative humidity. The  “Adiabatique effect" (cooling by evaporation) of an effective cold moisture humidifier will allow to lower the ambient temperature some degrees.

·        Warm vapour humidifiers increase ambient temperature; humidifier increases ambient humidity.

·         The air of well heated room tends to absorb (more of) the humidity present.

·        Because warm air absorbs more humidity than cold air, a temperature increase tends to reduce the humidity rate.

·        A low humidity level is no good for health. It gives sensations of discomfort, fast dehydration, problems of health for children (cough, throat, lung diseases etc.). Furniture and art objects of art need a minimum hygrometry to maintain well. Dry air gives problems of static electricity for computer systems, laboratories, offices ...
