Does using a humidifier affect babies?

Patient's question:

Does using a humidifier affect babies?

Doctor's answer:

If the humidifier itself is not hygienic, germs will float in the air with the water vapor, posing a threat to human health.
2. Do not directly add tap water to the humidifier. Tap water contains various minerals that can damage the evaporator of the humidifier, and the water alkali it contains can also affect its lifespan. The chlorine atoms and microorganisms in tap water may be blown into the air with the water mist, causing pollution. If the hardness of the tap water is high, the water mist sprayed by the humidifier may contain calcium and magnesium ions, resulting in white powder. This not only pollutes indoor air.
