■Do you know why viral infections spread during the summer? Indoor environments in summer, as well as inside cars, are similar to the cold and low-humidity conditions of winter. The temperature difference between the hot outside air and the indoor environment weakens the body, and the low humidity dries out the mucous membranes in the upper respiratory tract, creating an ideal environment for viruses to infect and reproduce. ■A proposal from the HCIA (Japan Hypochlorous Acid Industry Association) During the dry summer months when air conditioning is used, it is effective to regulate humidity with a humidifier. When using air conditioning for cooling, maintaining a humidity level of 50-60% with a humidifier provides moisture to the upper respiratory tract mucous membranes, creating an environment less conducive to viral infections, which is extremely effective for infection control. ■Recommended new habits 1) When you turn on the air conditioner, switch on the humidifier. 2) Keep the humidifier tank clean with JSA-compliant hypochlorous acid molecular water. (Adjust the tank water to a concentration of 10-50 ppm.) ■With JSA-compliant hypochlorous acid molecular water: 1) It is optimal for preventing infection clusters through humidity management. 2) It is safe as it contains only ingredients approved for use in food. 3) It effectively suppresses the growth of mold and bacteria in the humidifier water tank, which can cause "humidifier pneumonia," ensuring safety.
