What is the ideal humidity indoors?

It is generally understood that maintaining the internal environment at, ideally 50% relative humidity but, at lease between 40% - 60% is best for a multitude of reasons, such as to avoid condensation on windows in winter. But humidity can also play a big part in reducing risks to our health.

 

Understanding the link between relative indoor humidity and the rate of Influenza A infection is essential in reducing the spread of harmful virus particles that can affect humans.

Humid air can occur in a whole variety of places, firstly we might think of more obvious indoor spaces such as swimming pools or sports centres where activity creates a lot of moisture in the air for obvious reasons. But we might also consider where moisture is created in our day-to-day living. Such as within an office environment where there are often high volumes of people, or in a residential home where we are cooking or having showers for example.
