Negative EFFECT Of Air Conditioning' Must Read!!! by lakesguy(m): 10:24am On Oct 14, 2013 |
Not so many years ago, air conditioning was a luxury vouchsafed only to the privileged few; now, though, it's the norm in many offices and public transport systems, so it's a part of our lives whether we want it or not. Unfortunately, abusively low temperatures and faulty maintenance have led to health problems, triggering common disorders in some people and occasional major outbreaks of illnesses such as Legionnaires' disease. RISK! Sudden changes in temperature and humidity affect the respiratory system. It has a drying effect on skin and mucous membranes. It adds to ambient noise, contributing to noise pollution. The air circulation can transmit infectious respiratory diseases. Airborne dust and fungi can cause allergic reactions. Air conditioning is associated with chronic rhinitis and pharyngitis, throat irritation and hoarseness. Air conditioning can exaccerbate eye conditions such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis, as well as causing problems for contact lens wearers. DON'T FORGET' Air conditioned spaces should be regularly ventilated. Professional installation and maintenance is essential for both individual units and centralised systems. Keep room temperature between 21º and 25º C. Try to maintain an average humidity of between 60% and 70%. |
