Air conditioners are often mentioned in the context of sinus and other health problems. Are they rightly followed by a good or bad reputation? Air conditioners used to be a luxury. Today, it is unusual if you don't have them at work or at home.
They have become a part of our lives, whether we like it or not. Unfortunately, excessive lowering of the temperature and poor maintenance led to health problems, primarily causing respiratory problems and Legionnaires' disease.
What makes it good and bad to have an air conditioner.
Use:
- Extreme heat has a negative impact on mental and physical activity, so using an air conditioner can alleviate this.
- Increases the feeling of comfort.
- Increases productivity at work.
- It can result in greater physical and mental activity.
- Lower temperature reduces the presence of insects and parasites.
- A lower temperature means less sweating, so there is less risk of dehydration.
- A clean air conditioner helps exclude allergens such as pollen.
- If the air conditioning installation is good and if it is regularly and well maintained, it improves the air quality.
Risk:
- A sudden change in temperature and humidity affects the respiratory tract.
- It dries the skin and mucous membranes.
- It makes noise.
- Air circulation can transmit infectious respiratory diseases.
- Dust and mold can cause allergic reactions.
- Air conditioners are often the cause of chronic rhinitis and pharyngitis, throat irritation and hoarseness.
- They can worsen eye problems, lead to conjunctivitis and blepharitis, and cause problems for contact lens wearers.
Don't forget:
- The space where the air conditioner is located should be aired regularly.
- Installation and maintenance should be performed by a professional.
- Average humidity must be between 60 and 70 percent.
