In the cold season, air humidity in offices and large work spaces drops dramatically. Heating systems warm the already overly dry air. As a result, the mucous membranes dry out and the body’s natural defences have difficulty fighting off pathogens. To protect vulnerable risk groups from the dangers of airborne germs in indoor air, public areas should be optimally humidified. With a high evaporation capacity of 60 l/24h, the mobile B 400 disc humidifier is recommended for almost limitless air optimisation of heavily frequented areas up to 360 m² or 900 m³.
Especially for those of us who are susceptible to infections or suffer from allergies, investing in a professional humidifier is worthwhile. After all, a healthy room air humidity of 40 to 60% reduces the risk of infection from flu and corona viruses – and now, during the autumn flu season and the beginning of the 4th covid wave, this can only be a good thing! Humidifiers also reduce the annoying symptoms of too-dry indoor air such as chapped lips, irritated eyes or scratchy throats. Since there is a wide range of model variants, we want to clarify which devices are best suited to which needs.
Especially in daycare centres and schools, where rooms are shared by many children for hours at a time, illnesses can spread rapidly. Often the little ones’ ability to concentrate is not very good either. The cause often lies in the air, in the truest sense of the word. Often the air in the group rooms and classrooms is particularly stuffy and dry. And this makes playing and learning hard for the children. They are more susceptible to illnesses and the oxygen in their blood is transported more slowly. Therefore, the staff in daycare centres and schools should make sure that the rooms are equipped with additional technology that allows for an optimal air humidity. Trotec offers various humidifiers and airwashers that generate the ideal climate at the push of a button. So parents can bring their children to the daycare centres or schools and be at ease.
