Hospital humidification Improving health with humidity control Maintaining 40-60% relative humidity (%rH) in healthcare environments is essential to patient health, staff comfort and the prevention of electrostatic damage to medical equipment. A humidity lower than 40%rH will dry the nasal and throat passages of patients making them more vulnerable to infection from airborne viruses. Moisture is drawn from the skin causing dry patches and promoting itchiness and rashes. These symptoms are damaging to healthy people but to the sick and infirm they can hinder recovery or promote further infection. 40-60%rH = healthy environment www.jshumidifiers.com Our clients include: BMI Park Hospital
