A new study has found a significant correlation between "absolute" humidity and influenza virus survival and transmission. When absolute humidity is low -- as in peak flu months of January and ...

Grandma may have been right about keeping a teakettle warming on the stove in winter to moisten the air. Studies of seasonal influenza have long found indications that flu spreads better in dry air.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Many people around Pittsburgh are used to using "relative humidity" to determine how muggy it may, or may not, feel. Using relative humidity is not the best way to do it. While ...

The short answer is both terms are different and describe different things about moisture in the air. The dew point is another temperature value. It is the temperature air needs to cool to become ...

The relationship between relative humidity when cold air from outside is brought into a heated plant, office or home and wood is rather straightforward. I firmly believe that woodworkers should be ...

FIGURE 1. Relative indoor humidity (violet) and absolute exterior humidity (orange) displayed over 26 months. For the majority of winter months, rh ranged between 35 and 60 percent. December 10, 2018 ...

We all know that humidity can have an impact on our hair and skin, but a new study from researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Arizona suggests that relative humidity levels ...

Relative humidity has substantially declined in recent decades, defying global warming computer models predicting higher amounts of atmospheric water vapor that will exacerbate global warming. The ...

Industry leaders realized hundreds of years ago that their processes and machines operate best when the indoor relative humidity is maintained at an optimum level for their process. They found it was ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. – A new study by Oregon researchers has found a significant correlation between "absolute" humidity and influenza virus survival and transmission. When absolute humidity is low – as in ...
