The symptoms caused by the new corona virus Sars-CoV-2 are called ‘Covid-19’. This is a disease of the respiratory tract, one of the most frequent causes of incapacity to work even before the appearance of this new type of virus. Particularly in winter, there is an increased incidence of respiratory tract infections. Because although studies show that the lifespan of viruses, their spread and the immune system all directly depend on the humidity of the air, many buildings and offices are much too dry, especially in winter.
For the respiratory disease ‘Covid-19’ (Coronavirus-Disease-2019) caused by Sars-CoV-2, these are ideal conditions. The demand for energy-efficient buildings with their airtight enclosures has made the indoor climate increasingly dry, and we also know that below 40% humidity, viruses and bacteria remain infectious for hours – and are spread and inhaled throughout the building. In addition, employees suffer from symptoms of ‘dry building syndrome’, which is making people in more and more office buildings sick: The mucous membranes dry out and the eyes burn, the skin tightens and the voice fails.
Experts recommend additional air humidification.
The German Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO has investigated the significance and effect of humidity in office buildings in its multi-year Office 21 study. The results are clear: When air humidification was not activated or was completely absent, over 40% of office users felt disturbed by excessively dry air. With active air humidification, on the other hand, the air humidity never perceived as too low. In addition, the increase in air humidity resulted in a positive perception and higher satisfaction with the working environment. This is in line with the findings of other US scientists who have found that an optimum humidity level of over 40% is fatal within minutes for flu and cold viruses that people have coughed up.
