How to make a sea climate in your home. Frequent colds and "sea" treatment at home Use a container of water to moisturize

On the website Deti.mail, Mikhail Amelkin conducts consultations on ecology and the microclimate in the house. The topic is very deep and a lot of information has accumulated. The main question is: what technique can we use to create clean air in the apartment?

Children.mail: I have heard many times that sea air is much more beneficial for both children and adults for breathing. Tell me, is it possible to get clean air and achieve the effect of "sea air" in an ordinary apartment? Maybe there are special devices for this or do I need to spray something? If there are such methods, are they not dangerous? Or is it better to just run fresh air? We live near the park, but it still carries from the road ...

M.A.: Yes, learning how to make real sea or forest air in an apartment is an amazing idea. Unfortunately, I do not yet know not only devices, but even working physical methods in order to completely “copy” such air. The difficulty is that air has a huge number of parameters besides temperature, humidity, oxygen content. This is the gas composition, where there can be thousands of gas impurities, this is the aeroionic composition, the presence of inorganic elements, bacteria, odors, active biological substances, aerosols, etc., etc. in the air. Trying to make real "sea air" is as difficult as using chemical reactions in the laboratory to make a real tasty apple. It seems that there are not so many elements in the periodic table, but try to repeat ... However, you can try to somehow get closer to the result. Purify the air, equalize the temperature-humidity, and saturate with salts-minerals. I have seen devices that enrich the air with iodine. I don't know if they were clinical researches and how safe concentration is controlled, but they seemed to be on sale. In any case, the recipe for “cooking” a healthy microclimate is based on purified air rich in oxygen. Therefore, in any case, it is worth starting with the filing fresh air through a compact device with professional filters to remove all unnecessary. This is already a huge step. Then you can try to saturate the air with something useful. However, I definitely ask you not to use potentially dangerous substances for this, which can cause poisoning in case of overdose! Never use uncontrolled ozonation indoors, do not spray heavy metals and any elements and compounds that are dangerous in high concentrations!

Children.mail: How often do you need to change the filters in the air conditioner and what will happen if you do not change them for a long time? Manufacturers write almost once a month, but it is obviously expensive, I change houses every six months. And at work we have not been changed for a year, they say this is normal. Who is right?

M.A.: The most harmless thing that can happen when the filters in the air conditioner are not regularly replaced is that they will not pass air well and the air conditioner will work worse, cool the room more slowly. However, most often the filters are not just clogged, but accumulate infections, mold, and human waste products. In this case, the filter, which was not changed in time, instead of purifying the air, itself becomes a source of infection, unpleasant odors (the typical smell of wet carpets) and other contaminants. All this cocktail, getting into the air, can provoke allergies, asthma and other diseases. Therefore, regular replacement of filters is really necessary (again, with continuous use of the air conditioner, if it is turned on once a year, then the filters can be changed less often). It really is not a cheap pleasure. As an alternative solution, air conditioning units can be paired with air conditioning. The first option is a professional air purifier that will remove infection and mold spores from the air, in which case the air conditioner filters will collect much less dirt, and they will have to be changed less often. In this case, it is worth choosing a purifier with a large filter capacity (replacement with a frequency of 1-2 times a year) and with the function of inactivating microorganisms on the filter, so as not to pay the same money for the constant replacement of filters in the purifier. The second option is a ventilation device that purifies the air at the entrance to the apartment: a ventilator with filters (supply and purification multicomplex) or. In the latter, three effective filters from various types pollution, from sand to the smallest dust. The cleaner the air in the room, the slower the air conditioner filters get dirty. In any case, you will have to pay something - if the filters catch muck from the air, then they become dirty and require replacement. If the filters do not catch anything, then our bronchi and lungs will collect all this dirt and infection, and, unfortunately, you cannot change them every six months.

Children.mail: In order to have clean air in the house, I decided to use an air purifier, I want to choose the most useful one. Found a model with air ionization. Tell me, can such a device be good or is it better to buy everything separately - both a purifier and an ionizer?

M.A.: I would advise you to pay more attention to the devices. This is in terms of usefulness. In terms of air ionization, the topic is the least studied from the point of view of science. There are many devices on the market that offer ionization of indoor air. The maximum rationale is this - there are a lot of negative air ions in the forest, and few in the city, let's try to do it "like in the forest." There is logic in this, but I do not know of a single reliable modern medical study that would reveal the mechanism of action of negative air ions on the body, indicate the required doses and regularity of inhalation. At best, ionizer manufacturers refer us to the work of Chizhevsky almost 100 years ago, whose results no one checked modern methods and not confirmed in terms of modern medicine. By "no one" I mean the absence of complete scientific research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
And not so bad if ionization had a controversial positive effect. There would be at least a placebo effect. But there is another side - the safety of ionization for health. Air ions are active particles with a bright bactericidal effect. What concentration is safe? How can this concentration be controlled when using household ionizers? When using ionizers based on a corona electric discharge, ozone (a gas of the first category of toxicity at high concentrations!) And harmful nitrogen oxides can be formed. How do manufacturers of ionizers control this situation? Most likely not. It is possible that there are safe ionizers from bona fide manufacturers who test their products for safety. But I don’t understand how to distinguish them among a whole army of devices of questionable quality. So whether to use an ionizer is up to you, I don’t know any definite confirmed advantages, while there are definitely obvious risks. For me, the ionization function is still from the category of marketing "chips".

Children.mail: I have problems with the Air Washer. The water in it blooms very quickly. A day later, it starts to smell bad and green. How dangerous is it? I change the water often, but the process begins even before the smell? Will there be clean air in the house with such a sink?

M.A.: The topic is very important. It applies not only to sinks, but also to any devices that actively interact with stagnant water. Water room temperature, into which nutritious “bio-garbage” (skin particles, sputum, etc.) gets from the air, becomes an excellent broth for bacteria! Flowering is a direct indicator that bacteria happily live and multiply in this broth. Then, in large quantities, they enter the air along with droplets of liquid, and from there - into our bronchi and lungs. And, if the bacteria that cause flowering can provoke “only” allergies, then imagine what will happen if the bacteria of legionellosis, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, etc., get into the water? And these “guys” can get there, for example, from your guests (you can’t ask everyone for a certificate) or by air and dust from shoes in the hallway, from unwashed hands, etc. Thus, I strongly advise that in any devices that use water without heat treatment (air washers, ultrasonic humidifiers, water sprayers, etc.), fill in only filtered boiled (and preferably distilled) water and change it daily! It is also necessary to sterilize all water containers in these devices regularly. This is really very important if you don't want to have a highly effective spreader at home.

Do you want to go to the sea, but there is still a year before your vacation? Fortunately, you can enjoy the sea air without leaving the city.

ARTIFICIAL CAVE
Sea air has a beneficial effect on our health and well-being.

In the 19th century, doctors advised taking children to the seaside if prevention or treatment of frequent respiratory diseases was required. And, oddly enough, in this area their recommendations have not changed much, except that people have learned how to create sea air in a city.

The salt room is a small room lined with natural cave salt. Feet are also buried in a thick layer of large crumbly crystals - children play with salt as with snow or sand, for this there are buckets and shovels. A special gas generator saturates the room with sodium chloride microparticles. Salt crystals larger than 5 microns settle in the nasopharynx when breathing, while smaller ones penetrate deep into the lungs. Air temperature in the room -18-25°C, relative humidity -at the level 30-60%. All this creates comfortable conditions for visitors and a stable microclimate.

The air in the room is practically sterile, so the entrance to the outdoor shoes is strictly prohibited.

In the salt room, you can sit with magazines on comfortable relaxation chairs, if you wish, you can take a nap to the sounds of soothing music.

WITHOUT ODOR AND TASTE
If you came to the salt room for the purpose of treatment, then inside you can be in a dressing gown. If you need a cosmetic effect for the skin, then you should grab a swimsuit. It is not necessary to hide hair under a cap - not enough salt gets on them so that there could be some kind of negative effect.

The session lasts 45-60 minutes. Of these, the halogenerator works for 15 minutes, and you actively breathe in salt vapor, and the rest of the time you relax and get what the salt walls give. The taste of salt is not felt in the mouth, it does not sting the eyes, and pronounced unpleasant odors do not bother. On the contrary, the room is very comfortable. Only at the end of the session does it feel like there is a thin layer of talc on the skin. It can be washed off right here in the shower, or you can “wear” it until the evening for a better effect. Salty air dries and disinfects the skin, relieves irritation and itching, helps with acne, allergic reactions, psoriasis and eczema. Pores are gently cleansed and skin cells are regenerated. Sometimes cosmetologists prescribe sessions in the salt room after injection procedures so that the marks from the injections heal faster.

BREATHE DEEPER
At the time of visiting the salt room, I did not have a cold, so I just breathed in the salty air. However, other visitors unanimously assure that the procedures contribute to the removal of sputum, facilitate breathing with nasal congestion and are generally indispensable for a person who does not get out of colds. There are even tricks: for example, in case of diseases of the larynx and bronchi, you need to breathe through your mouth - take a slow deep breath, drawing in air in small portions, hold your breath, and then exhale as slowly as possible.

The air in the room is saturated not only with microparticles of salt, but also with individual ions of chlorine and sodium (as well as potassium, magnesium, calcium - after all, natural salt is rich in mineral impurities). When we breathe, such air has a mild irritant effect on the respiratory tract, and this leads to liquefaction of sputum and accelerates its excretion. Very similar to home inhalations with a nebulizer, only now you yourself are inside a huge inhaler with natural ingredients. And besides, you get additional bonuses for the skin and nervous system.

RECOMMENDED
In diseases of the upper respiratory tract (rhinitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis).
To strengthen the immune system, prevent seasonal diseases.
To improve the condition of bronchitis and chronic tonsillitis.
In the treatment of colds and flu.
For dermatological problems.
To strengthen the skeletal system and nail plates.
During the treatment of snoring, insomnia.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Acute diseases with high fever.
Chronic diseases in the acute stage.
Neoplasms.
Specific diseases of the bronchopulmonary system.
Tuberculosis.
Pregnancy.

In winter, the humidity level in the apartment drops to 15-20%. And that's bad. Why?

Firstly, because dehydrated air dries out the skin and mucous membranes, contributes to a decrease in immunity and the development of diseases such as sinusitis and sinusitis. By the way, young children are especially sensitive to its effects.

The second reason - insufficient humidity harms plants, books, wooden furniture and musical instruments.

The optimal level of humidity in the apartment is about 40-60%.

You can measure air humidity using special device- hygrometer. If you don't have it, use the following method. Fill up a glass cold water and leave it in until the temperature of the liquid drops to 3-5 ° C. Then take out the glass and place it in the room away from the batteries. Observe the surface of the glass for five minutes. Evaluate the result like this:

If the walls of the glass are foggy at first, and dry after five minutes, the air in the room is dry.
If the glass remains foggy after five minutes, the humidity is medium.
If streams of water appear on the glass, the humidity is increased.

Is the air dry? Then use one of the following tricks to restore normal moisture levels.

1. Use the bathroom

Probably one of the most simple ways. Leave the door to your room open every time you take a shower or bath. Evaporation will penetrate into the apartment and humidify the air.

You can also not immediately drain the water from the bath, but let it cool first: this will increase the amount of steam.

2. Dry things in the room

Another way that does not require any effort from you. Just put the dryer with the washed things next to the radiator: the clothes will dry faster and the air will be saturated with moisture.

The main thing is that there are no cleaning products left on things. Otherwise you will breathe chemistry.

A similar way to humidify the air is to hang wet towels to the battery. You can extend the life of this humidifier with a bottle of water.

How to build such a structure is described in detail.

3. Boil

All you need is a stove and a pot or kettle.

Option 1. Bring water in a saucepan to a boil and put it on a table or window sill so that the steam humidifies the apartment.
Option 2. Boil the kettle and leave it on low heat for longer evaporation. This technique can be used when you are cooking (often the air is dry at this time).

You can also add a few drops of oil to the water. tea tree or eucalyptus. Their aroma is soothing, and the vapors kill germs and reduce the risk of colds and flu. In addition, cinnamon sticks, herbs or other spices can be thrown into the water to make the air fragrant.

4. Arrange water containers around the apartment

You can do without boiling. Simply fill vases, bottles and other containers with water and place them near heat sources. If you add stones and flowers, you get a beautiful composition - guests, most likely, will not even guess that these are not decorative elements, but homemade humidifiers. Just do not forget to periodically wash the containers and change the water.

5. Get houseplants

Home flowers not only humidify the air, but also ionize it. Some are also excellent and disinfect.

The following plants give especially a lot of moisture:

nephrolepis (house fern);
fatsia;
cyperus;
sparmania (room linden);
ficus;
dracaena;
hibiscus.

6. Set up an aquarium or fountain

At the same time, the air becomes incredibly dry. But first you need to understand how to humidify the air in an apartment without a humidifier in winter.

What is dangerous dry air in the apartment

It is believed that the normal state of the humidity level reaches about 40-60 percent at a temperature in the range of 18-20 degrees Celsius in winter. Temperature control in the current conditions can be adjusted independently. This parameter can be adjusted - in summer it is enough to open a window to set a comfortable temperature in the house, and in winter - turn on an additional heater. But at the same time, you need to check the level of humidity - and, if necessary, bring this indicator to the optimal level.

Low humidity in the premises sometimes leads to ailments of the household. This manifests itself in the fact that people appear, the skin begins to actively peel off, and for some, allergy attacks may intensify. In this regard, you need to observe your well-being. But at the same time, you need to help yourself. With strong peeling and dry skin, you can use a moisturizer.

Unpleasant sensations arise due to the drying of the mucous membranes. In this case, there are violations in breathing. This is due to lack of moisture in the lungs. As a result, an allergic reaction develops or worsens. Asthmatics are not recommended to live in such conditions. In addition, the child may develop SARS, he will have to be treated for frequent colds.

Symptoms of dry air in the apartment:

frequent unexplained headaches
poor sleep, insomnia
fatigue, apathy
yellowed plants
dry skin
dryness in the throat and nasal cavity, especially in the morning after waking up

Installing an aquarium has a beneficial effect on children and adults, calming nervous system. The larger the aquarium, the more tangible its benefits. After all, then the evaporation of moisture occurs more intensively.

And in this case, it is necessary to take into account the strengths and weaknesses of the method of moisturizing.

Advantages

hydration occurs naturally;
fish in an aquarium is also a good indicator of a healthy microclimate;
it's a great way to soothe yourself.

Flaws:

Planting flowers in the house

Mini flower beds can be arranged on your windowsill. beautiful flower garden will not only beautify the environment. This is also a good incentive for an active life - a mini-flower bed or flower pots need to be periodically watered and fed.

Frequent watering, as a way to humidify the air in an apartment without a humidifier in winter, significantly increases humidity. And besides, bright, colorful, various flowers have a beneficial effect on others, contribute to the improvement of the microclimate in the apartment. This means that everyone who lives in the house can safely breathe in the air with a full chest.

Even flowers of certain varieties help to cure ailments. They say that living plants have beneficial energy. In this case, the main thing is that the plants help maintain a comfortable level of humidity in the house. Flowers and other plants are watered after a certain period of time. But spraying the leaves can be done daily, which will also affect the humidity in the house. Once on the soil, moisture evaporates, thus maintaining the natural cycle of moisture and evaporation. You can buy flowers or grow your own.

This method of moisturizing has several strengths and weaknesses.

Advantages:

the more the flower garden grows, the more intense the moisture will be;
plants disinfect the air;
natural beauty helps to relax and recover.

Flaws:

We dry clothes and things in the apartment

For drying clothes, a device is usually provided in the bathroom. But in large families, especially those with small children, you have to dry clothes more than once a day. This process provides for constant humidity in residential areas. But in dry air, this is even beneficial. Therefore, it is worth considering the possibility of effective method how to humidify the air without a humidifier.

Despite the simplicity of solving the issue, this method of moisturizing, like the previous ones, must be considered taking into account the strengths and weaknesses.

Advantages:

it will not be difficult to install water containers; this will be enough for a slight increase in humidity;
you can think of new decor premises due to selected water containers.

Flaws:

water tanks should not be within the reach of children or pets, although this requirement is not always feasible.
