The posts collectively show strong support and recognition of the research, with references to historical scientific evidence and practical implications, such as controlling indoor humidity between 40-70% to prevent airborne infections, using phrases like 'scientific evidence from 1986' and 'humidity as a two-edge sword' to emphasize the relevance and impact of the findings.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions acknowledge and support the article's findings, referencing classical studies like those from 1986 and emphasizing the importance of maintaining specific humidity ranges to control airborne pathogens.
InterestModerate interest
While many posts express interest in the health implications of humidity, some show only moderate curiosity or briefly mention scientific evidence without deep exploration.
EngagementModerate engagement
Several comments include references to scientific studies, data, and applications, demonstrating active engagement, though some are more superficial or rely on retweets, indicating moderate interaction levels.
ImpactHigh impact
The discussions highlight a recognition of the significance of indoor humidity control for health and disease prevention, suggesting that the information influences health practices and awareness.
Abstract in brief
Relative humidity (RH) between 40-70% helps reduce the survival of airborne bacteria and viruses, potentially lowering the risk of infections and allergies indoors.
Maintaining indoor RH levels between 40-60% can minimize the population of allergenic mites and fungi, which thrive at higher humidity levels.
To improve indoor air quality and health, it is recommended to control RH within this range, especially using evaporative or steam humidifiers, while avoiding cool mist humidifiers that can spread allergens.]

@jljcolorado @norabar @LANACION Esto concuerda con los estudios clásicos sobre el impacto de la humedad relativa en los patógenos, que dictaban que un valor intermedio (40-60%) era lo más adecuado para la mayoría de ellos (especialmente, virus, con minimización del 50 al 70% de HR)

Estudios similares existen en la literatura, existiendo ya un trabajo de revisión en 1986 (https://t.co/6aJpmtuwx0) donde se propone como óptimo un rango intemedio de RH.

By keeping relative humidity between 40% and 70% research has shown that the likelihood for airborne infectious bacteria and virus to survive is the lowest. Arundel 1986.

@Debs_Kropotkin @trendless @zhang_yueting In the context of aerosolized particles and viability of infectious transmission, too much humidity allows longer life of airborne pathogen and too little humidity offers longer suspension of airborne particles.
Here’s scientific evidence FROM 1986!!!

Indirect health effects of relative humidity in indoor environments.
When I first discovered how unpredictable humidity can be, I realized how much time and energy it took to constantly anticipate changes.
This realization inspired me to develop the Risk Profile Forecast.

Humidity is a two-edge sword. Too much and you have fungal growth problems. Humidity set at 40 -50% range curbs secondary infection.

@stevemouzon May we add to the list natural materials such as clay.
Breathable materials help to maintain humidity at levels at which airbourne infectious bacteria and virus are least likely to survive.
