This is why we are often told to drink half of our weight in ounces, daily. A lesser-known consumption method is the amount of water the air that we intake holds. This is also known as relative humidity and anything less than 30% is too dry, and anything above 70% is too wet.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text2 first\">\n<section>\n<div style=\"max-width: 824px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0.8rem;background: url('https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/10px-45px.svg') no-repeat 0 0;background-size: auto 30px;padding-left: 20px\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.5rem\">Issues from Dryness<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reader-image-block reader-image-block--full-width\">\n<figure class=\"reader-image-block__figure\">\n<div class=\"ivm-image-view-model   \">\n<div class=\"ivm-view-attr__img-wrapper\n\n        \"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ember32892\" class=\"ivm-view-attr__img--centered  reader-image-block__img evi-image lazy-image ember-view\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5612AQFi9SjiLtER1A\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/0\/1723469164212?e=1733356800&amp;v=beta&amp;t=Bct9QkjRMRR7_SLJMw4Hr8I18iMLc1-Si6jnuVMbWyw\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">When the environment is too dry, we start to see physical side effects pretty early on.

With the recent pandemic, increased risk of viral infection may have caught your eye. Unfortunately, we have to protect ourselves from many viruses out there besides COVID, like influenza and measles. According to the World Health Organization, up to 500,000 people die from the flu alone, every year.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Luckily, there is a solution to stop the spread of these viruses. <a target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #00a273\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that viruses, like influenza &amp; measles, lose survivability\/infectivity as soon as relative humidity exceeds 40%, up to 70%. Relative humidity below 30% is dangerous as it serves as a breeding ground for viruses to develop and transmit.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">This method of maintaining relative humidity to 40%-70% does more than stopping the spread of viruses. We can see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:2.8rem;font-size: 14pt;1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li>Significant decrease in likelihood of contracting a respiratory infection.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li>Limited development of allergens, mainly caused by mites &amp; fungi.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li>Disabling of airborne chemicals that cause irritation and diseases.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">What does this mean for your business? The overall wellbeing of employees should be, and often is, a priority in the workplace.
