Is the mistless humidifier good?

Humidifiers are divided into two types: foggy humidifiers and fogless humidifiers. Foggy humidifiers spray small white mist beads, and at the same time release cold air, thereby achieving the effect of lowering the temperature and moistening the air. A mistless humidifier means that there are no small mist beads when the humidifier is working. It moisturizes the air through evaporation humidification. So is a mistless humidifier good?

The larger the amount of mist, the better the dust absorption ability

The white mist of the humidifier is actually composed of small water droplets. The minerals in the water will be sprayed out along with the mist. The white mist containing minerals has a strong adsorption capacity and will absorb toxic pollutants such as dust, bacteria, viruses and decoration residues in the air.

Large amount of fog can easily irritate the trachea

Especially when the air quality is poor, there are many tiny particles in the air, which can easily irritate the trachea and bronchial mucosa after being adsorbed by the white mist, causing a variety of respiratory system diseases.

Wang Jian, chief physician of the respiratory department of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, said that winter is a high-incidence season for respiratory diseases. If the humidifier is not chosen properly, it may harm the body, such as a humidifier that sprays a lot of white mist.

The respiratory mucosa of the elderly, pregnant women and children are relatively fragile and more susceptible to these pollutants. Therefore, when purchasing a humidifier, you should try to choose one with adjustable mist volume.

How to judge the humidification effect of a humidifier

When buying a humidifier, the way to judge its performance and effect is to read the humidifier manual carefully and pay attention to the rated humidification capacity on the manual. Generally speaking, a small humidifier for household use is 200 ml/hour, and a medium-sized humidifier for household use is 400-500 ml/hour.

Keeping the temperature right is important

Experts suggest that when using a humidifier, it is better to use a hygrometer to detect the humidity. If the relative humidity is too low or too high, people will feel uncomfortable and are prone to disease. The relative humidity that humans feel comfortable indoors is generally required to be 30%-65%, and the optimal is around 50%.

Regular cleaning is essential

When using a humidifier, it is best to keep the humidity in the room at around 50%. In addition, the humidifier should be cleaned after using it for a period of time. This will keep the humidifier clean and extend its life and use effect.
