Editorial department/comprehensive wet, cold and cold air is sucked into the body, which makes people feel uncomfortable, so dehumidifiers or dehumidifying bags on the market always sell well, and external dehumidification is done. What about the inside? The humidity in Taiwan Province Province is high all the year round, and it rained for several days. Is the dehumidifier on at home? Besides the uncomfortable feeling of being wet and sticky, the most important thing is that it is easy to breed mold, which is harmful to health. Mold likes warm and humid, especially when the relative humidity is 85% and the temperature is above 28 degrees, it will produce aflatoxin. Facing this problem, Tan Dunci, practical nurse of Clinical Toxicology Department of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, pointed out that we can't control the temperature, but we can control the humidity. Dehumidification at home is mainly to keep the bathroom dry, and there is usually no problem of water for bathing and washing hands in other rooms, so dehumidification is very important but relatively simple. Four tips for home dehumidification. Have you used the dehumidifier correctly? Tan Dunci pointed out that generally speaking, the air moisture brought by the south wind in Taiwan Province Province is heavier, so it is necessary to reduce the moisture in the right direction in theory. But because most people can't easily distinguish between east, west, north and south, they simply close the window to dehumidify. Dehumidifier is the simplest and most effective dehumidification method except closing the window, but is your usage correct? When people use the dehumidifier, most of them will pay attention to the instructions of the dehumidifier and avoid sticking it on the wall, so as to avoid the blockage of the dehumidifier outlet or poor heat dissipation, which will cause danger. But in fact, it also means that everyone uses dehumidifiers near the wall to avoid traffic jams and injuries or water splashing into the water collection tank. However, in order to achieve the best dehumidification effect, the dehumidifier should be placed in the middle of the room. Tan Dunci added that the dehumidifier should not only be placed in the middle of the room, but also open the cabinet to minimize the humidity in the closed space; One room is dehumidified, so people should not share the same room, but it is best to stay at home to avoid accidents and deal with them in time. Of course, it is safer to buy products with brands and labels. As for how much dehumidification is enough? Tan Dunci suggested using a hygrometer to measure it. If the humidity is below 65%, people can feel comfortable. Tan Dunci personally prefers dry humidity, such as 50-60%, but if there are children at home, too dry environment may make children uncomfortable, so we should adjust it carefully.
The filter screen of dehumidifier should be cleaned regularly. Tan Dunci especially reminded everyone that the filter screen of dehumidifier is often ignored by everyone and has not been cleaned for a long time. Therefore, a lot of dust and particles are accumulated, which often become hotbeds of bacteria. Her personal habit is to clean it briefly every day, because there is little dust. In fact, it doesn't take time to clean up, but it takes more time if it is thick dust. In addition, it is not recommended to store water at home at ordinary times, so as not to increase the humidity in the air, it is easy to raise mosquitoes, or cover the water container. It is not advisable to soak chopsticks in water for too long or even the next day after eating, which will also increase the humidity in the house.
