Importance of Aircraft Cabin Humidity, from a scientific point of view

Everybody agrees – humidity is vital to human wellbeing. The moisture in the air we breathe is essential to life, as our respiratory system would collapse without humidity in the air. Aircraft cabin air is extremely dry. In fact, an aircraft is by far the most dehydrating environment on Earth.

Questions are:

• What is the humidity threshold for good health and wellbeing?
• At what humidity levels will our immune system still function and protect us?
• At what humidity levels is our natural virus and bacterial defense system still effective?
• At what humidity do we start to feel discomfort and unease?
