The Condair steam humidifiers are helping to suppress electrostatic shocks and reduce drying of the skin, eyes and the mucosa of the nose and mouth. This helps maintain the health of the BAS personnel through reducing the risk of airborne infection. BAS Technical Services confirm the importance of the indoor humidity: “ Any Antarctic accommodation structure requires careful environmental and humidification managem
