The humidifier can not use tap water, nor can boiled water
According to the standards of the World Health Organization, the indoor humidity should be maintained at 40%～70% throughout the year, and people live at a relative humidity of 45%～65. % Of the environment feels the most comfortable. Therefore, adding a humidifier to the small castle of "air-conditioned room" is the standard equipment to start a happy life.
It is best to use purified water or distilled water.
The humidifier should not be used for too long, especially in the "air-conditioned room". Because the moist state is easy to breed bacteria, molds and other microorganisms, which affects human health and even induces asthma and allergic diseases. However, studies have shown that the growth rate of bacteria in different water sources is different. Distilled water is the slowest, purified water is the second, and cold water is the fastest. Therefore, try to use pure water or distilled water for humidification when possible.
Do not pour tap water directly. Because the disinfection by-products in the tap water volatilize into the air along with the water mist, they will cause harm when being inhaled into the body. Moreover, the white powder deposited in the humidifier by the calcium and magnesium ions in the tap water can easily block the spray pores, reduce the humidification efficiency and affect the service life.
Don’t "add food" in the water, your body can’t eat it
On July 27th, the South Korean Special Commission for Social Disaster Investigation announced the results of a survey that surprised people. It is estimated that 13,000 to 16,000 adults in South Korea have died of asthma and lung diseases after inhaling humidifier disinfectants. The culprit is said to be PHMG in the fungicide, which is a safe, low-toxic antibacterial polymer. When used in a humidifier, it is atomized by ultrasonic means and then inhaled by the human body, which induces humidifier-related lung injury.
Experts said that fungicides contain a variety of chemical substances, which may cause direct alveolar damage after being inhaled into the human body. Secondly, additives of unknown ingredients may stimulate the immune response in the lungs and cause harm.
It is also not advisable to add essential oils, vinegar and other substances in the water of the humidifier. Volatile products such as essential oils or toilet water often contain chemical ingredients. After entering the human respiratory tract, they will be irritating and cause discomfort. And essential oils cannot be absorbed through the respiratory tract. Adding vinegar to the water tank will not purify the air, but will easily cause pollution.
"Spray your face"? Be careful of suffering
The humidifier is best not to be too close to the human body, especially against the face. Do not face the spray directly in front of the person, face the side. Especially for humidifiers placed on the desk or beside the bed, the nozzle should be bypassed in front of the person.
In addition, in order to ensure the humidification effect, the humidifier should be placed on a stable surface 0.5 to 1.5 meters above the ground. Place it about 1 meter away from household appliances and furniture to prevent moisture. (From the WeChat public account "Healthy China")
