How to choose the right electric heater • Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Photo: SeverPost/Oleg Syusyura Different types of heaters can have different effects on health, because changes in air temperature in the room due to their operation lead to certain effects on the human body. Therefore, you need to choose a device very carefully. But how to do it right? Ivan Noskov, chief physician-therapist at the Center for Molecular Diagnostics of the Central MD Lefortovo Federal Budgetary Institution Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, told “Doctor Peter” about this. The main drawback of any heater is that it dries out the air. Most of them are able to critically reduce the level of air humidity - when it drops below 40%. In this case, the mucous membranes are the first to suffer, and to a greater extent the nasal mucosa, which dries out and ceases to perform its main protective function - to serve as a barrier to dust and microorganisms. “Thus, with prolonged exposure to dry air, the body’s susceptibility to allergies and colds increases, and conjunctivitis of the mucous membrane of the eyes may develop,” explains the doctor. “The maximum negative effect is provided by fans, which, although they quickly heat the room due to the circulation of hot air, but at the same time dry it as much as possible. They are also capable of burning oxygen, which leads to further hypooxygenation,” continues Ivan Noskov. This is a condition when a person feels weak, drowsy and fatigued. It is important that all these problems are possible if you use old and budget models of fan heaters that use an open heating element, as well as those made of plastic. When exposed to high temperatures, toxic compounds can be released into the air. “Oil heaters and convectors do not burn oxygen, which is considered their advantage,” continues the doctor. “But they dry out the air just as much.” Therefore, if you use such heating devices, it is worth having an air humidifier at home, regularly carrying out wet cleaning and constantly ventilating the room. An infrared heater is considered the safest, says the doctor. The infrared spectrum is as safe as possible for humans. “Basically, such rays are heat, and humans, like all warm-blooded animals, emit it themselves,” writes “Doctor Peter.” That is, this spectrum is not alien to us and is not dangerous. This type of device heats objects rather than the air so it doesn’t dry it out and burn oxygen.” There is one “but”: the correct operation of such a device is important. If you stay near it for a long time, you can get burns not only to the skin, but also to the eyes or mucous membranes,” warns Ivan Noskov. Let us remind you that frosts continue in the Murmansk region. Read also: Life support services in the Murmansk region are on high alert Source link Source link
