A wide range of respiratory disorders are associated with dampness in the air, as high humidity creates ideal breeding conditions for house mites. Asthma is now thought to affect 1 in 4 children and dampness has been linked to headache and rheumatic pains.
To combat the problem many homeowners reach for the thermostat and crank up the heating, but Micromark warn that this will only exacerbate the problem.
Micromark recommends its dehumidifiers as a way of combating the problem. Dehumidifiers remove moisture which would otherwise be trapped in the air before condensing on cold surfaces, such as windows and walls. So they can effectively control dampness and condensation in the home – the latest Micromark unit is a thirsty piece of kit, and can extract up to 20 litres of moisture per day.
