High levels of moisture in the air can damage buildings, trigger asthma and allergies, and encourage the growth of mold and dust mites, which can also worsen asthma. At the other extreme, low humidity can boost the spread of infections. As well as creating health hazards contributing to sickness and absence, humidity problems increase the risk of damage to buildings. Since people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors1, monitoring humidity is fundamental for commercial buildings like schools and offices.

 
Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air which represents a natural part of our atmosphere. However, humidity indoors can lead to different undesirable conditions for buildings and its occupants.

 Extremely high levels of humidity increase the risk of damage to buildings. Indeed, fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms can also grow on the structural parts of a building if the relative humidity inside the building reaches 70% or more, while dust mites can multiply in furnishings. 11

Airthings recommends indoor humidity levels in the range from 30% to 60%. By keeping an eye on humidity levels, you will be alerted and able to take timely action, reducing the costs to your organization.
