Winter comes, many families indoor environment is dry. When you wake up in the morning,  it is easy to produce nasal congestion, dry respiratory tract, tight throat and other problems. At this time, many consumers choose to use the humidifier to humidify the room in order to relieve the physical discomfort brought by dryness. Humidifier has a long history and various kinds, how should consumers use it correctly?

Improper use of the humidifier is harmful to physical health

The reporter learned that the most important role of the humidifier is to increase the air humidity in order to alleviate the nasal dry cavity. Moisturizing air is also recommended by some pediatric institutions to treat upper respiratory tract infection, but once not used properly, it will cause great harm to our body. It turns out that the humidifier is easy to breed bacteria. When the bacteria enter the human body with the atomization of water molecules under the action of the humidifier, it will cause harm to the lungs of the human body.

However, blind sterilization is not feasible. It has been reported that many people in South Korea have ill or died of inhaling humidifier fungicides. Originally, many local families when using humidifier used to add a containing polymethyl biformin (PHMG) composition of fungicides. the fungicide is seen commonly in hand sanitizer and disinfectant. It claims when harmless in propaganda. However, fungicides is a chemical, this composition once the atomization is inhaled by the human body, it can cause discomfort to human body, and even induce disease.

Why is a small humidifier so dangerous? In fact, most of the humidifiers on the market are through the ultrasonic water atomization, and then spray in the air, which will carry a lot of bacteria, impurities. Accordingly, when a lot of humidifier is propagandize, will inform consumer not to add tap water, because tap water contains calcium, magnesium ion and bleaching material. Use humidifiers should add pure water or distilled water, in order to ensure water quality clean.

How to properly humidify the room?

No matter what kind of humidification product is, its principle is almost the same. Therefore, consumers should avoid making artificial bacteria when using it. For example, many places have smoked vinegar to treat colds, but remember not to add vinegar to the humidifier for use, vinegar once with the humidifier atomization is inhaled into the human body, it will produce a great stimulating effect. In addition, some brands of humidifiers will often use the essential oil as a selling point with sales, in the same way, as long as the chemical products will cause damage to the human body.

In addition, the reporter consulted to know that the humidifier also do not use frequently. Indoor humidity should maintain in between 40 and 50 percent. Suitable humidity can turn off the humidifier. In daily life, you should open the window after using the humidifier for a long time. At the same time, the water in the humidifier water tank should be replaced frequently, and the inner wall of the humidifier should also be cleaned frequently, in order to avoid the breeding of bacteria for a long time.

In fact, the humidifier is not the only way to give indoor humidification. Except from the use of humidification products, there are a lot of "small tricks" can solve the problem of indoor humidity. For example, before going to bed at night, we can use a wet mop to mop the floor of the bedroom, or we can also find some  completely soaked and wet clothes, towels, etc., hanging on the coat hanger of the bedroom for evaporation and humidification. If you are a fish enthusiast, you can also place a fish tank pump in the tank, so that the water can circulate, and the circulating water is constantly brought to the air, thus adding humidity to the room. In a word, no matter what the method, the principle is to use evaporation. Consumers can choose according to their own actual situation.
