Introduction

Why is humidity control important to Hospitals & Healthcare?

We provide hospitals, operating theatres and healthcare facilities with the correct humidity control for healthy environmental conditions for patient, visitor and employee wellbeing. Reliable and stable humidification between 40% and 70% will help reduce the survival rate and spread of viruses, such as influenza and norovirus, and airborne pneumococci, streptococci and staphylococci.

When RH is persistently below 40% it causes moist tissues in the nose, throat and lungs to dry out, leaving the body susceptible to infections. Maintaining mid-range RH therefore also supports the body’s infection resistance.

In an operating theatre, dry air will increase the rate of evaporation from tissues, thereby exacerbating problems of dehydration. Low humidity can also result in static and the risk of ignition of medical gases and reliability of electronic medical equipment.

Benefits

Maintaining a stable relative humidity between 40% and 70% drastically reduces the reproduction rate of airborne pathogens, as well as helping our bodies stay hydrated and so in the best conditions to fight the pathogen. This controlled environment prevents viruses and bacteria from lingering in the air, creating a much safer space for patients and staff.

When indoor air drops below 40% humidity, it dries out the protective mucous membranes in the nose, throat, and lungs. Keeping the air properly humidified supports the body's natural resistance to infection, keeping staff healthy and vulnerable patients protected.

Low humidity levels allow static electricity to build up rapidly in clinical areas. Maintaining balanced moisture levels eliminates the risk of electrostatic discharge, ensuring life-critical medical devices remain reliable and preventing the accidental ignition of volatile medical gases.
