Scientific life: how to do well in disease prevention during continuous drought?
Recently, the number of outpatients in various medical institutions in Beijing has surged, the number of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases has increased, and the beds in some hospital wards are very tight. Experts believe that this is related to the continuous drought.
Although a few days ago, an artificial precipitation ended the 110 day dry weather in Beijing, the air relative humidity in Beijing is still significantly low. The minimum air relative humidity measured by the meteorological department is less than 20%, and the daily air relative humidity is no more than 50%. According to scientific research, the relative humidity of the air comfortable to the human body is 60% to 70%. Exposure to a dry environment for a long time will have many adverse effects on human health.
Recently, during an interview with several major hospitals in Beijing, the reporter found that the number of outpatients and inpatients in hospitals increased sharply. According to experts, affected by abnormal weather, more patients came to the hospital before and after the spring festival than in the same period in previous years, which is related to the activity of bacteria and viruses and the impact of human physiological activities under warm and dry weather conditions.
Experts suggest that in a dry environment, aroma diffsuer can be used to alleviate air drying and moisturize the skin to a certain extent
