\"\"Office folk are often all too familiar with the problem of endlessly irritated eyes. When your eyes have too little tear fluid, they become excessively dry, they itch, they burn and they become red. We\u2019re well aware of the reasons for this: on the one hand, long periods of working at a computer screen suppress the closing of the eyelids, akin to a reflex, thus inhibiting the supply of moisture. Conscious blinking, on the one hand, does help. On the other hand, office air that is often excessively dry causes the tear film to evaporate more quickly. A professional humidifier – from Trotec – helps to combat this!<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

So if you have irritated eyes, the first thing to do is to make sure that the air in the room is sufficiently moist and fresh. The easiest way to achieve this is by airing the room regularly and using a professional humidifier. Incidentally, practically all expert studies show that the entire immune defence of the mucous membranes depends decisively on the humidity of the room air. This is because as the humidity drops, the removal of microorganisms and viruses in the mucous membranes decreases given the drying out of the cilia, meaning they can no longer perform their cleansing function.<\/p>\n

In addition, from an air humidity level of 50 %, the spread of viruses – including the corona virus! – and bacteria in the room air is reduced. This is because infected persons coughing and distributing fine droplets together with influenza or cold viruses in the air causes the air in the room to dry out, which preserves the pathogens and keeps them infectious for longer. However, in the optimum range of 40 to 60 % relative humidity, the droplets shrink only as much as to bring about an increase in salt concentration – and the germs and microorganisms are killed. In this way, you minimise the risk of infection in the long term!<\/p>\n

No dry eyes and reduced risk of infection and contagion through professional air humidification<\/h3>\n

This is the easiest way to prevent dry air from becoming a health hazard: Measure the humidity in your office and at home at continuous intervals. The measuring instrument used for this is a so-called room thermohygrometer, such as the bargain\u00a0BZ05<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or BZ06<\/strong><\/a> from Trotec. All experts recommend a relative humidity of between 40 and 60 % as a comfort zone for office and work rooms.<\/p>\n

The hygrostat-controlled Trotec humidifiers from our B series and the air washers from our AW-S series ensure optimally regulated humidity and purified room air. Thanks to their timeless design, the units fit into any office or living environment, require little maintenance during operation and are inexpensive to purchase. The most important criteria when selecting the appropriate unit are the sizes of your rooms in conjunction with humidification performance.<\/p>\n
