摘要: Abstract Background Concerns about indoor residential humidity have largely centered on dampness prevention. Overly dry air, however, may favor the survival of some viruses and hence respiratory infections. Many residents employ portable humidifiers to humidify their home environment, yet effect these is not known. Methods We monitored temperature in 34 apartments New York City during winter 2014–2015. combined information from monitors with surveyed building, household, apartment-level factors household humidifier use. Using multilevel regression models, we investigated role absolute levels winter. Results Mean vapor pressure (a measure humidity) was 6.7 mb homes season. Ownership a associated higher levels; larger building size (above 100 units) significantly lower humidity. The presence radiator heating system non-significantly Conclusions wintertime environment this sample dry. Future research needed evaluate effectiveness clarify relationship between air transmission viral
