Indoor air quality and your well-being

Something to think about to keep indoor air healthy. Some comfort therapy health information. 

"Maintaining indoor relative humidity >40% will significantly reduce the infectivity of aerosolized virus."

A hygrometer will check the relative humidity in a room. You can purchase a hygrometer for less than $10. 

A word of caution. A whole house humidifier is more effective to maintain relative humidity then individual humidifiers. Individual humidifiers generally are not kept clean which can cause health risks . A whole house humidifier is easier to maintain for cleanliness.
