Causes of "air conditioning disease"

In fact, the cause of "air conditioning disease" has not been determined, and scholars believe that it may mainly come from indoor air pollutants.

Most of these air pollutants come from:

① The output of daily life, such as cooking and cooking fumes, fuel burning, smoking, toilet sewer odor, etc.

(2) High temperature accelerates the release of toxic components in the interior decoration, including formaldehyde and other decorative materials and volatile chemicals in wood furniture and floors. In addition, and improper use of air conditioning.

Frequent use of air conditioning in summer, air conditioning is not clean for a long time, will accumulate a large number of dust, dust mites and bacteria and fungi, and the temperature is appropriate, closed shading environment, air circulation, for the survival of bacteria and mold provides favorable conditions.

Before use, cleaning is not in place, direct blowing time is long, dry air, will affect our respiratory tract, and then produce obvious discomfort. Especially some airway mucous membrane sensitive population, such as infants, mold, dust mite allergy, allergic rhinitis patients.

So, it's not the air conditioner that gets in trouble! On the contrary, the use of air conditioning, the benefits are really many. Mastering the Scientific Way

Let children enjoy air conditioning at ease. In fact, summer air conditioning for children, in addition to cool, there are several benefits. For example: help children sleep; Keep infants away from heat rash and eczema; Can reduce the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome... Long time to open the air conditioning is not terrible, as long as the parents master the correct method of use, will let the air conditioning blowing more "comfortable"!

1. Clean the air conditioner regularly

Regularly disinfect and clean the air conditioner, including filters, pipes, cooling plates and heat sinks, to avoid dust accumulation and the breeding of viruses and microorganisms to a certain extent.

2. Pay attention to the temperature difference in and out of the air-conditioned room

When taking a child from a high temperature outdoor environment into the room, in addition to the air conditioning temperature should not be too low, it is also necessary to pay attention to dry the sweat on the child's body to ensure the regulation of body temperature. Out of the air-conditioned room, outdoor activities should pay attention to the children to add enough water.

3. Make good use of "skills" to make the air conditioning wind gentle

Some families have limited bedroom space, no matter where the air conditioner is installed, it can blow to the bed. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the wind direction of the air conditioning to blow upward, or use the windscreen to prevent the air conditioning from blowing straight. If it is a vertical air conditioner, you might as well drop the air conditioner, the front outlet toward the wall, the cold air to the wall and then back, so it is much more moderate.

4. Open Windows regularly for ventilation in the morning, middle and evening

The window ventilation time can be determined according to the child's daily habit of going out. When the child goes out for activities, he can try his best to open the window and spend more time on ventilation to make the air quality in the room better.

Air Conditioning Related "Trivia"

For parents

For "old and young" families, opinions have been divided on whether to turn on air conditioning for their children.

Some old people worry that children stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time easy to get sick (this problem has been solved); Some old people think that if the temperature of the air conditioner drops for a while, they can turn it off and not only cool but also save electricity.

Here's what might be more appropriate for parents:

Is it reasonable to turn on air conditioning for a long time?

Take frequency conversion air conditioning as an example:

1 When the indoor temperature reaches the preset temperature of the air conditioner, the compressor will automatically stop working; When the indoor temperature rises to exceed the set value, the compressor will start again. And repeatedly turning on the air conditioning will certainly have an impact on the compressor, so, from this point, always turning on the air conditioning is good for the service life of the compressor.

2 If there is no one at home during the day, after getting home from work at night to turn on the air conditioning, you can go to the next morning at five or six o 'clock, and then close. If there has been someone in the home, it is recommended to turn on the air conditioning at noon, to the second half of the night at about 2 o 'clock in the morning can be closed, and then open the window ventilation, because at this time the outside temperature has been reduced, the natural wind is cool and comfortable.

3 If you go out for a short time (no more than an hour), after turning off the air conditioning, the hot air outside will sneak in, and then open the air conditioning, the compressor should be started up, but also to transfer the heat out of the room, it will consume more power. So go shopping, pick up a delivery... You don't have to turn off the air conditioner!
