Humidifiers are useful not only for keeping the air clean and free of particles of dust, but can also be used for suppressing other airborne matter such as bacteria, Virus,and other air born diseases which can otherwise ruin food, produce and vegetable while it is in cold storage, ripening rooms or during transported. Humidifiers can be automated extensively, so that any change in humidity is quickly adjusted so as to keep the levels in a closed environment constant.
Dust suppression is not the only thing humidifiers help with. Disease control is another area in which humid are is essential, just listen to what Mayo Clinic has to say about this:
“Dry sinuses, bloody noses and cracked lips — humidifiers can help soothe these familiar problems caused by dry indoor air. Humidifiers can also help ease symptoms of a cold or another respiratory condition.
But be cautious: Although useful, humidifiers can actually make you sick if they aren’t maintained properly or if humidity levels stay too high. If you use humidifiers, be sure to monitor humidity levels and keep your humidifier clean. Dirty humidifiers can breed mold or bacteria. If you have allergies or asthma, talk to your doctor before using a humidifier.”
From this we can see that clean, humid air is great for keeping air and disease at bay.
