Medical specialists know how we can reduce the propagation risk of coronavirus until a vaccine is made available. This is because the new coronavirus is closely related to the familiar SARS virus, which is why laboratories were also quickly able to develop tests for its detection. Just as helpful are the research results on the resistance of SARS viruses to air humidity and temperature. These show us the transmission pattern of these dangerous virus strains – and what we can do about it.
Medical specialists assess the examination results of the survival rates of SARS coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and as infectious droplets in the air. And lo and behold – these reveal an identical pattern. Thus, only low temperatures and low air humidity allow for long survival times for the viruses. Despite the fact that the survival times of the viruses were still long even at medium temperatures of 20-30 °C – but this was only the case when the air was very dry as well. And very high temperatures above 30 °C make the coronaviruses inactive. This means that we are offering the virus ideal climatic conditions in our buildings, with temperatures between 20 and 24 degrees and air humidity levels between 20 % and 40 %. Or simply not!
Increasing air humidity to 50 % reduces the transmission risk
Medical specialists emphasise that we can reduce the risk of infection by increasing the humidity in buildings. Increasing air humidity through humidification to around 50% thus reduces the transmission risk. Since almost two thirds of SARS cases have been transmitted in hospitals, a disproportionately positive effect can be anticipated from additional air humidification. However, air humidification can be used at home and at work as well. What’s more, humidified air improves your respiratory tract’s defence mechanism by more efficiently cleaning your airways and creating an improved immune defence.
Use the professional air humidifiers from Trotec
When it comes to Trotec’s electric humidifiers, you can choose between models from the evaporation humidifier B series and the air washers from the AW-S series. The most important criteria for choosing a suitable device are room size and humidification performance
