<h1>Cold Weather Means Dry Indoor Air—And More Allergies: Prevent It With Portable Humidifiers</h1>

Fall is definitely here and that cool dry weather is already very noticeable in many areas. Many allergy and asthma suffers don’t realize, however, that cooler air means drier air—especially when it comes to indoor air. This is primarily because, at cooler temperatures, the air is not able to hold as much moisture. That means that the air brought indoors by our air conditioners has less moisture, which helps create overly dry air in our homes, rooms and offices. And as temperatures drop, the air holds even less moisture, making for even drier air.  And dry air, of course, increases allergy, asthma and other respiratory issues from dry nasal and sinus tissues, skin, and the fact that a lot more house dust can now become airborne because it’s now become dried out and lighter, allowing more dust, dust mites, mold spores and other pollutants to more easily float around.

 

The simple way to prevent this automatic increase of allergies, asthma or sinus problems caused by the change of seasons is to use one or more portable electric humidifiers.  Humidifiers add moisture to the air by helping water in a tank become vaporized either by natural evaporation, heating the water into steam, or using high frequency sound. Which humidifier you choose can depend on how much moisture you need, your budget, the size of your home or room, whether you have pets or small children running around, how clean you want that extra moisture to be, or how much you’re concerned about energy consumption.

In simple terms, the lowest energy usage humidifiers are typically evaporative and ultrasonic humidifiers. The cleanest and best-performing portable air humidifiers are usually steam humidifiers, since they boil the water, removing germs and impurities—but they’re not recommended for areas where small children or pets are present due to the hot steam coming out.  Ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers are the usual choice as they are energy saving and quiet, cheaper, with a safe, cool mist or moisture that is released.

 

Whatever home humidifier you choose, other than steam, it is recommended that you always choose a unit with demineralization cartridge, anti-bacterial and anti-mold growth protection. This prevents the humidifier from distributing germs and other impurities into the air you’re breathing.   Next, either choose an electric humidifier that has a build in hygrometer or humidity meter, if possible, so you can be sure what the humidity level is in your home or room.

If you don’t know what that indoor humidity number is, it’s hard to know exactly how much moisture you need to alleviate that dry air that increases allergies and asthma—without adding too much moisture, which can actually cause bacteria and mold growth in your home if it gets above 50%. Ideal indoor humidity is usually around 35%, for most people to be comfortable. Dry air from cold weather, however, often silently drops this humidity down to 15 to 25%, which immediately dries out your tissues and causes or worsens symptoms.  Humidifiers can easily correct this problem.
