IIR documentSummary
THE AUTHOR SURVEYS THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS OF AIR HUMIDITY ON HUMAN COMFORT AND HEALTH. THE CONCLUSIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE THERMAL EFFECT OF HUMIDITY IS SMALL AT MODERATE TEMPERATURES. ELECTROSTATICSHOCKS CAN BE AVOIDED BY INCREASING RH, DEPENDING ON FLOOR OR CARPET MATERIALS. 50% RH MAY DECREASE THE FREQUENCY OF COMMON COLD AND OTHER RESPIRATORY DISEASES. TO AVOID THE GROWTH OF MOULDS, RH SHOULD NOT EXCESS 70%.
