Risk Of Infection In Humid Environments

Studies suggest that a relative humidity between 40 to 60 percent is optimal for work performance, health, and lower infection risk. Relative humidity of less than 40 percent increases the risk of viral infections. In order to maintain optimal indoor humidity, humidification may be required in areas having cold dry winter climates. Studies show that indoor relative humidity is linked to the incidence of allergies and respiratory infections.
