One is in the summer when air conditioning is used more frequently, and the other is in the winter when the weather is dry.

The air humidifier itself is not toxic, but it can cause harm to people if used improperly.

1. If the humidifier itself is unhygienic, germs will float in the air with water vapor, causing harm to human health.

2. Tap water cannot be added directly to the humidifier.

Chlorine atoms and microorganisms in tap water may be blown into the air with water mist and cause pollution. If the tap water has high hardness, the water mist sprayed by the humidifier will produce white powder because it contains calcium and magnesium ions, which will not only pollute the indoor air.

3. Improper use can cause allergic diseases: humidifier fever.
