Can the humidifier be placed at the head of the bed? What are the hazards of turning on the humidifi

When many people turn on the air conditioner in winter, they like to put a humidifier in the house to regulate the dry air in the house. Can the humidifier be placed at the head of the bed? Is it good to turn on the humidifier when you go to bed at night?

Can the humidifier be placed at the head of the bed

It is not recommended to put it at the head of the bed for the following reasons:

1. Placing the humidifier at the head of the bed will cause the humidity at the head of the bed to be too high. First of all, it will cause the bedding to become relatively wet, which is not only uncomfortable, but also the wet sheets and quilt covers are easy to breed bacteria.

2. If water mist is sprayed on the human body, it may cause the skin to be too wet for a long time and cause skin discomfort.

3. It is too close to the human respiratory tract. If there are bacteria and other microorganisms in the water mist particles, they are easy to be inhaled into the respiratory tract by the human body. People with poor immunity are prone to respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, etc.

Will you sleep with the humidifier on

1. If the humidification effect of the humidifier is weak and the indoor air is dry, and the indoor air humidity remains within 60% after the humidifier is opened for one night, and there is no physical discomfort, you can sleep with the humidifier on.

2. However, if the air humidity exceeds 60% after the humidifier is opened all night, or chest tightness, sore throat, joint pain, etc. occur, it indicates that the air humidity is too high, so it is not recommended to sleep with the humidifier on. It is best to turn on the humidifier for about 2 hours before going to bed and turn it off when going to bed.

Is humidifier really harmful

Incorrect use of humidifier will indeed cause some harm. However, the correct use of humidifier can reduce the occurrence of these hazards.

1. It is harmful if the humidifier is not cleaned in place: change the water every day and clean it once a week. Otherwise, bacteria and other microorganisms inside will multiply in large numbers, and then enter the air with the atomized water vapor, which will endanger health.

2. Excessive indoor humidity caused by humidifier is harmful: if the humidifier is used for a long time, it will lead to excessive indoor humidity. When the humidity is too high, it will aggravate the discomfort of patients with arthritis. Secondly, it will accelerate the reproduction and breeding of bacteria and other microorganisms. People with poor immunity may have respiratory tract infection.

What water should I put in the humidifier

If you have a water well in your home, the water well water is better. After all, the water well water is groundwater and pollution-free. It is healthier to use it as an air humidifier. If friends are restricted due to various conditions, tap water is OK, but you need to boil the tap water and use it after cooling. Of course, what kind of water the humidifier uses depends on the situation. There are water purification devices in many humidifier water tanks, but they are all like goods with little effect. Instead, it breeds bacteria.
