Allergies are common health hazard connected with indoor humidity. The immune system in our body reacts with allergens around us and develops undesirable symptoms. Dust mites, mold and mildew are the most common allergens that cause allergies.

Dust mites are of microbial length. They live in temperature range of 59F to 95F and a relative humidity above 55%. They are found in carpets, fabric upholstery and mattresses. Due to their inability to drink water, it is important for them to stay in moist areas to absorb humidity. If the indoor humidity is kept below 50%, dust mites cannot survive.
 

Mold is a fungus that feeds on organic substances and survives in moist conditions. Besides causing allergies, they emit harmful chemicals such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and mycotoxins. Health hazards related to mold are coughing, wheezing, running eyes/nose, skin rashes and muscular aches, loss of appetite, inability to concentrate and fatigue. Keeping the relative humidity levels low is the only way to actually eliminate mold growth in a home.

In fact, the average family disperses three to five gallons of moisture into the air daily throughout the home. Taking control of indoor moisture to maintain proper humidity levels plays a big role in how comfortable you are in your home and in how you feel about your family's well-being.
