Relative Humidity

is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest. The same amount of water vapor results in higher relative humidity in cool air than warm air.

Why Use a Humidifier

A humidifier adds moisture during the dry months to help your home feel cozy. Often people find themselves needing a humidifier in the dry winter months. Not only does a humidifier add comfort to your home, but you might also notice you’re getting a better night’s rest.

“When the air is dry, your respiratory system just isn’t happy. Even if you have no medical problems at all, you can suffer,” she says. “Your skin and nasal passages get dry – all the way down to your lungs. You can wake up with a dry mouth and start coughing for no reason.”

Humidification is simply, the addition of water into air. Most people require a certain amount of ambient moisture in the air that is not too high and not too low in order to be comfortable. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends keeping your home’s humidity level between 30% and 50%.

Reasons to Use a Humidifier

  • There are several reasons why you should use a humidifier, including the betterment of your health, help with skin and help with a good night sleep.
  • Increasing the humidity in your home helps eliminate the dry air that can irritate and inflame the passages in the nose and throat.*
  • Humidified air can relieve the discomfort of colds and flu.*
  • Using a humidifier can help relieve a stuffy nose, nose bleeds and can help break up mucus so you can cough it up.*
  • Dry air can dry out skin, hair, lips, throat, etc, causing irritation until moisture is restored
  • Proper humidity levels help to reduce the number of nosebleeds some people are prone to in the dry, winter months.

Benefits of a Humidifier in the Nursery

Picture
Since a humidifier adds moisture into dry air, it also helps relieve your baby of irritated, dry skin. Baby’s skin is sensitive to dry climates and can result in red patches and tender, chapped lips. The dry air may also be aggravating to common skin conditions, such as eczema. By using a humidifier to add moisture back into the air, the skin remains soft and clear by retaining its natural moistness.
​
Another benefit of a humidifier in the nursery is the white noise it provides. The rhythmic, comforting hum of a humidifier is reminiscent of the whooshing sounds your baby heard in the womb. Not only will it help to drown out household noises like dogs, television and kids playing, but it will also help lull baby into a peaceful sleep.

Since a cool mist humidifier does not have a heating element installed, the air it releases is cool, or room temperature. The main reason doctors may recommend a cool mist humidifier is that a toddler or young child cannot be scalded when touching or playing with it. A doctor may also recommend a cool mist humidifier if your child suffers from croup.
