How does high humidity affect the human body?

• It helps the body cool down faster

• It improves overall body function

• It has no effect on the human body

• It can make it harder for the body to cool itself

How does low humidity affect the human body?

• It leads to improved skin hydration and respiratory health

• It can cause dry skin, irritated eyes, and respiratory issues.

• It causes excessive sweating and dehydration

• It has no effect on the human body

What are some effects of humidity on plants?

• Decreased water absorption, reduced transpiration, improved nutrient uptake

• Wilting, leaf curling, increased susceptibility to diseases

• Increased growth, stronger roots, improved photosynthesis

• Enhanced flowering, better fruit production, increased resistance to pests

What are some ways to reduce humidity in a room?

• Keeping windows and doors closed at all times

• Adding more plants to the room

• Using more humidifiers

• Using a dehumidifier, improving ventilation, using air conditioning, and fixing any leaks or sources of moisture

What are some ways to increase humidity in a room?

• Turning on the air conditioning

• Using a humidifier, placing bowls of water around the room, taking hot showers, or using a vaporizer

• Opening windows and doors

• Using a dehumidifier

Explain the concept of dew point in relation to humidity.

• The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with dust particles

• The dew point is the measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air

• The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor and condensation begins to form.

• The dew point is the time of day when humidity is at its highest
