Making the Humidity Case (Study)
Based on gathered research, which will be presented in this article, there is a demonstrable link between humidity and the infectivity and longevity of a variety of viruses. Th e research demonstrates that at Relative Humidity (RH) levels, between 40%–50%, many types of common and harmful viruses such as influenza and coronaviruses are rendered inert much more quickly than at RH levels of =20%.
