Harm of second-hand humidifier

First, water quality hazards.

If tap water is directly added to the humidifier, it is simply polluting the indoor air, because chlorine atoms and microorganisms in tap water may be blown into the air with water mist, forming pollution; If the hardness of tap water is high, the water mist sprayed by humidifier is rich in calcium and magnesium ions, which will produce white powder and pollute the indoor air.

Second, bacterial harm

Many microorganisms floating in the air or scattered in dust and articles will grow and multiply rapidly once the temperature and humidity are suitable. Therefore, people with relatively weak resistance such as the elderly and children will start to get infected after inhaling bacteria.

Third, the harm of disease

Improper use of humidifier may also cause "humidified pneumonia". This is because when the humidifier is used, if there is no regular arrangement, microorganisms such as mold in the humidifier will follow the aerosol into the air and then enter the human respiratory tract, which is likely to cause "humidified pneumonia". Humid air will aggravate arthritis and diabetes, so patients with arthritis and diabetes should use air humidifiers with caution.
