The air conditioner is the only solution on hot days, however, it carries many risks and airborne infections, as a hygienist emphasizes.
Specifically, the hygienist and hygiene lecturer of the University of West Attica, Costas Delezos, speaking to ERT, draws risks and the airborne diseases transmitted by air conditioners during their use and mentioned ways to avoid them and instructions for their proper use.
As he underlined, "we must implement the directive 24/7, that is, put the air conditioner in a continuous moderate operation, so that no viruses grow ".
This function, in fact, is economical, which makes it even more useful, due to the increased prices of electricity.
He adds "we prefer air-cooled air conditioners and not water-cooled air conditioners, because water-cooled ones transmit more germs".
The most common mistake we make with air conditioning
Regarding the use of air conditioners in the house, Mr. Delezos pointed out that "the most common mistake we make is to collect water from the aircondition pipe outside on the balcony, while the water must go directly to the sewer."
