Intensive work with computer screens, activities involving lots of talking and overheated offices can lead to significant health problems when combined with room humidity levels that are too low. Especially in the winter months, infections of the respiratory tract, difficulties swallowing, sore throats and burning eyes are common symptoms.
Current research shows that the immune defence of mucus membranes is also heavily dependent upon the room humidity level. When humidity levels are low, the expulsion of microorganisms from the respiratory tract is reduced. A sufficiently high air humidity of at least 30%, or even better 45%, is needed to clear the respiratory tract quickly and efficiently, thereby reducing susceptibility to infectious illnesses.
To make office and work areas comfortable, a relative humidity of between 40% and 60% is recommended.
