The answer is yes! The air dehumidifier is a device that controls ambient humidity, retains airborne impurities, and prevents proliferation of fungi and mites.
Many people believe humidity problems only occur during summer due to lots of rain, but excessive humidity is also present during winter, especially within our houses.
We will explain each climate and also a few situations of daily life you will certainly identify with.
SUMMER
It is the warmest season of the year in Brazil, therefore, due to high temperatures, it is common to rain a lot, because the evaporation of water is increased due to heat. Three factors influence the thermal sensation: the actual temperature, the wind speed and the relative humidity of the air.
On humid and warm days we perspire more, but the sweat does not evaporate, which impairs the cooling of the body. The higher the temperature and humidity, the bigger is our discomfort.
In cities next to the ocean, relative humidity of the air is even higher due to pressure. People that live in the coastline lose furniture and constantly have discomforts due to mold, mildew, and bad smells within the house and need equipment to control humidity.
But humidity does not concentrate only in coastal regions. Brazil as a whole is very humid; forests mainly retain water as a mean of survival, so every house outside urban areas struggle with humidity.
High humidity may cause:
– Water bubbles on the wall
– Loss of good
– Allergic attacks
– Mold and mildew
– Proliferation of mites
– Loss of food stocked in pantries
WINTER
Relative humidity is lower in this season and ranges between 20% and 30%. Despite the low humidity in outdoor environments, we produce excessive humidity in indoor environments. Do you know when we enter a warm place and there are signs of water running down the wall? THIS IS HIGH HUMIDITY.
During winter, it is not common to open doors and windows to air the house, we take hot showers, cook soups and broths, and leave wet clothes in the laundry room for days until they are completely dry, among other day-to-day activities. The human body itself produces 15% of the humidity in the room; together with all abovementioned actions, humidity can reach 90%.
This humid climate created by us causes several problems:
– Attacks of respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma. The environment is favorable for survival and reproduction of mites and fungi, which is aggravated by using humidifying devices;
– Emergence of mold in clothes and blankets due to the long time in the wardrobe;
– Emergence of mildew and mold in the grouts of bathroom and kitchen tiles;
– Fungal diseases in dogs and cats.
It is very important to have an air dehumidifier, isn’t it? Be prepared for all seasons of the year with Desidrat dehumidifiers. They are manufactured with the highest technology and are designed to preserve your health and quality of life.
