A humidiy range between 40 - 60% RH has an important negative impact on the life cycle of a virus.
Humans breath approximately 15'000 liter of air each day - Air is therefore our most important nutrition.
Humidification and ventilation function like a cleansing thunderstorm and a fresh breeze driving away the smog.
Humidification has a cleaning effect. Air pollution of any kind (nicotine, soot, dust, nanoparticles and viruses) are removed.
BECAUSE OF HEALTH
Humidity is not considered any longer a soft factor for indoor air quality, as relative humidity levels of 40-60% can minimize the majority of adverse health effects. Consequently, the correct humidification in offices and residential homes can have a distinct impact.
BECAUSE OF PRODUCTIVITY
Many industries consider the right humidity level a basic requirement for productivity, allowing for optimal product output (e.g. wood, textile, printing industry). Often forgotten is, that now-a-days the large majority of people works in office environments and that healthy Human Resources are the major driver for productivity.
BECAUSE OF SUSTAINABILITY
Through energy optimized ways to install and operate humidifiers, energy resources can be optimized. A correct humidity level helps that office, production and storage processes will become more efficient, thus raising the quality and improving the working and living environment.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES
Seven clinical trials from 1963 to 1985 showed that the incidence of colds can be reduced by up to 50% by maintaining the relative humidity between 45 and 55%. Studies within the last five years show that aerosol transmission is probably the most important method of indoor virus transmission during winter season.
