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 ...

Influenza A incidence peaks during winter in temperate regions. The basis for this pronounced seasonality is not understood, nor is it well documented how influenza A transmission principally occurs.

Models in the HX-772 Series can measure relative humidity from 0% to 100% or absolute humidity from 0 to 200 g/m 3. They can also sense dew point between –40° and 140°F. Using completely sealed ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Dublin, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Humidity Sensors Market, By Product (Relative {Capacitive & Resistive} and Absolute {Solid Moisture Sensors & Mirror-Based Dew/frost}), By Type ...

It is well established that the rate of chemical degradation of solid-state pharmaceutical products, such as tablets and capsules, is highly dependent upon the environmental temperature and humidity.
