What are the hazards of commonly used humidifiers

Many people know that the weather in the north is very dry, especially in autumn and winter when the air is very dry, which can easily lead to dry skin and other phenomena, which will seriously affect one's image and is also very harmful to health. Many families will use humidifiers to improve the indoor environment, but frequent use of humidifiers also has certain hazards. Let's take a look at the hazards of commonly used humidifiers.

What are the hazards of commonly used humidifiers

Working principle of ultrasonic humidifier: It uses high-frequency vibration to break water into small particles, and then uses a pneumatic device to blow these particles into the indoor air to form a misty water mist. Ultrasonic humidifier can be said to be the most widely used humidifier today, and is loved by all walks of life. Its harm is mainly manifested in four aspects:

First, the ultrasonic humidifier sprays out small particles visible to the naked eye, which contain a large amount of scale, bacteria, etc. Once inhaled, it will cause certain harm to the body.

Second, the dust and bacteria already in the air will cause secondary pollution by attaching to these small particles. This is why the use of humidifiers is prohibited in some places with higher hygiene requirements.

Third, radiation damage. We all know that ultrasound can cause certain damage to human cells, and naturally it will also cause certain radiation damage, which is especially obvious in pregnant women.

Fourth, long-term use will have a great impact on the occurrence and aggravation of arthritis, diabetes, etc.

Thermal evaporative humidifier:

The working principle of the thermal evaporative humidifier is very simple. It just heats water to 100 degrees to generate steam, and uses a motor to send the steam out. Although it is simple, it also has many disadvantages:

First, the energy consumption is high, which affects the maintenance of air humidity and requires long-term operation, which consumes too much energy.

Second, the dust and bacteria already in the air will cause secondary pollution by attaching to these small particles. This is why the use of humidifiers is prohibited in some places with higher hygiene requirements.

Third, radiation damage. We all know that ultrasound can cause certain damage to human cells, and naturally it will also cause certain radiation damage, which is especially obvious in pregnant women.

Fourth, long-term use will have a great impact on the occurrence and aggravation of arthritis, diabetes, etc.

The above is an introduction to the hazards of commonly used humidifiers. After understanding, we know that frequent use of humidifiers can easily cause radiation and breed bacteria, so when using a humidifier, we must combine its advantages and disadvantages to use it, and we should eat more vegetables and fruits in our diet to improve the phenomenon of dry skin.
