Brazil is a continental-size country in which the climate differences are proportional to its size:
In the Midwest region the air is dry for most of the year, which makes the use of humidifiers more common there; however, the uncontrolled use of this equipment indoors makes the house environment extremely humid, in addition to ordinary daily activities like cooking and showering, which produce water vapor that accumulates in hygroscopic materials, such as: clothes, footwear, books, furniture, etc. Therefore there is a need to use room dehumidifiers, even if it is an arid region, because water is artificially vaporized to the air;
The South, Southeast, and North regions and the coastline of the Northeast region are humid for most of the year;
In the coastline, climate is humid due to sea air. Beach houses and apartments that remain closed and with no ventilation intensely suffer with the effects of humidity, which is noticeable due to bad smell, typical of areas with fungi;
Intensely forested regions, such as forests or mountains, are humid all year round.
The consequences of this diversity are from development of respiratory allergies caused by extremely ambient humidity to discomfort due to dry air. The ideal is that the relative humidity is balanced.
The dehumidifier controls ambient humidity and is actively responsible for preserving goods and health.
