In the room with air conditioning, the air will be very dry, and many people choose to use a humidifier in order to increase the indoor air humidity. However, many people do not understand and do not know the role and harm of humidifiers. The harm of air humidifier can not be ignored, let's go to the role and harm of air humidifier. Functions of a humidifier Does the humidifier work? Yes The role of the humidifier is to increase the water content in the air, but pay attention to the spray, thermal evaporation is useless, in addition to the wetland surface is of no use, now popular is the ultrasonic humidifier, it uses ultrasonic high-frequency oscillation, the water mist into 1-5 micron ultra-fine particles, through the pneumatic device, the water mist spread into the air, Make the air moist and accompanied by rich negative oxygen ions, can fresh air, improve health, change the dry heat of winter heating, create a comfortable living environment. Functions of humidifier: First, increase the humidity of the air With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioning is widely used, which leads to the breeding of air conditioning diseases such as tight skin, dry mouth, cough and cold. In the atomization process, a large number of negative oxygen ions are released, which can effectively increase the indoor humidity, moisten the dry air, and combine with the floating smoke and dust in the air to precipitate it, which can effectively remove the smell of paint, mold, smoke and odor, make the air fresher, and protect the health of you and your family. Two, moisturize the skin, beauty Hot summer and unusually dry winter, resulting in excessive loss of skin moisture, accelerate the aging of life, moist air to maintain vitality, humidifier water mist, can moisturize the skin, promote facial cell blood circulation and metabolism, relieve nervous tension, eliminate fatigue, make you radiant. Third, add adjuvant, aromatherapy Add plant essential oil or liquid medicine in water, etc., with the water mist, full of fragrance, so that the body is more easily absorbed, has the effect of healing, health therapy, especially for skin allergies, insomnia, cold, cough, asthma has excellent auxiliary effect, is the best replacement choice of traditional aromatherapy products. Fourth, fashion decoration, beautiful and practical Cute fashion cartoon shape, floating clouds like a dream, such as romantic such as wonderland, enough to make people produce unusual creative inspiration. Automatic protection of water shortage, the amount of fog can be adjusted arbitrarily, and the humidity can be automatically balanced. Unique noiseless circuit, make your machine more power saving, quiet, energy saving and environmental protection. Hazards of air humidifiers First, if the humidifier itself is not sanitary, the bacteria will float in the air with water vapor, causing harm to human health. Second, can not directly add tap water to the humidifier. Because tap water contains a variety of minerals, it will cause damage to the evaporator of the humidifier, and the water and alkali contained will also affect its service life. Chlorine atoms and microorganisms in tap water may be blown into the air with water mist and cause pollution. If the hardness of tap water is high, the water mist emitted by the humidifier will produce white powder because it contains calcium and magnesium ions, which not only pollutes the indoor air. Third, poor quality air humidifier is the most harmful, so we must choose a regular air humidifier when choosing an air humidifier. Fourth, can not use the air humidifier correctly. If the air humidifier is not used correctly, it will make the scattered dust and various microorganisms on the items multiply rapidly when the temperature is appropriate, the expansion of bacteria, and the vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children are prone to infection after inhalation. The improper use of the heater will also cause "humidification pneumonia", which is because the air humidifier is not cleaned regularly, so that microorganisms such as mold enter the air, and the human body inhales the respiratory tract, it is easy to suffer from "humidification pneumonia". Does the humidifier emit radiation? Yes There are many kinds of radiation in nature, the humidifier radiation here refers to electromagnetic radiation, for home appliances, the main impact on people is magnetic radiation. The World Health Organization believes that long-term exposure to strong electromagnetic radiation has adverse effects on the fetus; It is also one of the causes of childhood leukemia, and for adults, it can cause heart palpitations, insomnia, vision loss, and cataract; Induce cancer, affect the body's immune, reproductive and metabolic functions. How to clean a humidifier First, unplug the power. When cleaning the humidifier, unplug the power supply to avoid accidentally leaking water droplets and causing electric shock accidents. Second, disassemble the humidifier and divide it into two parts. Three, water tank cleaning. Dump the remaining water in the tank. Then pour some water, add detergent, shake and soak for a while, let the detergent fully dissolve and work, after a few minutes to pour out the water. Cleaning of the base. The cleaning of the base, remember not to make the outlet into the water. In the sink of the base, you can first add a little water, not over the bottom, add detergent, dissolve and soak for a while. Here is mainly the humidifier these small components, if the dirt accumulation here, will affect the size of the spray. Five, finally clean with water several times, until the humidifier looks shiny as new. Warm tips: 1. The humidifier should be cleaned frequently to keep the spray volume large, extend the service life, and reduce the growth of bacteria. 2. If you want to stay away from irritating cleaning chemicals, use vinegar to break down particles in the water. 3. Depending on the water capacity, other cleaning solutions may be used.

Before purchasing a humidifier, we should first understand why we need to use a humidifier, what functions the humidifier has, and how to choose the right one Before we dive into the types and characteristics of humidifiers, it's important to fully understand why humidifiers are good for your health. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), maintaining optimal humidity levels in your home can significantly increase the concentration of certain indoor pollutants. The recommended household humidity level is between 40% and 60% for maximum health benefits, however, most homes have humidity levels between the highest 20 and the lowest 30. Many factors contribute to reduced humidity in indoor air, including central heating in winter, increased use of air conditioning in summer, and poor indoor ventilation. Dry indoor air depletes the body of essential moisture, leading to: dry sinuses, increased susceptibility to colds and flu, exacerbated allergy and asthma symptoms, structural damage to your home, and more. So we need humidifiers to help us increase the humidity in the air. The benefits of using a humidifier regularly at home include: Improve nasal congestion and nasal discharge Improves common symptoms of cold and flu The survival rate of airborne viruses, including influenza and COVID-19, declined Improves symptoms for people with allergies and asthma Improve infantile congestion and respiratory disruption Improves skin hydration, dryness, itching, redness and/or pain Reduce the signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet and a sallow appearance Improves moisture in dry lips, dry noses and other sensitive skin areas Improves hair quality, including improvement of dry, flaky scalp Reduce static electricity buildup on surfaces, clothing and other items in your home Improve the health of wood surfaces, including furniture, flooring and finishes Using a humidifier in your room can relieve symptoms such as congestion and sore throats. There are three types of humidifiers commonly available on the market 1. Vaporizer or warm fog humidifier These devices use heating elements to boil water and release moisture into the air by releasing a hot mist stream. 2. Ultrasonic humidification equipment The device uses high-frequency sound vibrations to produce a fine mist of water. 3. Cold mist humidifier A favourite of many Canadians, cold mist humidifiers increase the humidity in the air by running a motor that forces water droplets into a fine mist, which is then dispersed into the air. There are many kinds of humidifiers. If it is used at home, ultrasound is the most ideal choice. You can choose according to your actual needs. No matter what type of humidifier you choose for your home, increasing humidity levels in the optimal range can significantly improve your health, the health of your family and children, and the structural integrity of your home.

If your home is too dry, will you buy a humidifier? You need to know when you should buy the humidifier for your home. While some areas have been getting more moisture than they know what to do with, the colder months can be a time when dry air affects some people with allergies or sensitive skin conditions. If this is the case, a humidifier is a device that transforms water into mist or very tiny droplets to disperse in a room to help increase the humidity level. Evaporative humidifiers work by evaporating water inside the humidifier which sends water vapour into the air, while non evaporative (or ultrasonic) humidifiers transmit moisture to the air in a visible or perceptible form without the need for a fan. Here are the common types of humidifiers you're likely to find in stores. . Warm mist humidifiers (evaporative) heat water to a boil and emit the steam to release moisture into the air. Some types use mineral filters that trap water deposits, and these filters need changing. . Cool mist humidifiers (evaporative) use a fan to blow air over a wet wick and move the humid air into the room. . Ultrasonic humidifiers (non evaporative) use a vibrating diaphragm to convert water into a vapour. While a fan isn't required, some units do include a small fan to increase the spread of vapour throughout the room. Humidifiers come in various sizes and prices. Before buying one, you need to figure out the size you need by measuring the dimensions of the room it'll be in (whether this is a bedroom or the living room, for example). For sleeping areas, ultrasonic models are said to be quieter than evaporative ones. You should also choose a humidifier that's easy to maintain and clean and make sure you drain, rinse and dry it every day. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions with disinfecting and cleaning your humidifier and any residue build-up to make sure the moisture the machine emits is safe to breathe.
