Watch your cooling: Here's the impact of air conditioning on our health.

The summer air conditioning brings great relief, but the question is, how can the air flowing into a room in people's health be affected?
It is understandable that air conditioning can affect human health, especially if the air conditioning system is not regularly monitored and maintained”, says physician Sema Sarin, for Bustle.
Air conditioning can be good for your health, as it facilitates spending time in closed areas especially during the summer. Study published in “magazine Energy and Buildings” showed that there are small signs of waking up when the air conditioner turns up at night but does not negatively affect the quality of sleep.
But living and working at high temperatures is not good for the brain. A Harvard study published in PLOS Medicine found that during the hot summer days, students in dormitories without air conditioning had the lowest test recognition results than those living in air - conditioning rooms.
Of course, there is weakness in using the air conditioner. If you suddenly move from a hot room to a very cold room, whether your home, office, or car, it can negatively affect your health.
Research published in “Clinical Alliance & Translational” has found that the regular practice of this transition can harm your lungs, making you more vulnerable to respiratory diseases. Medical doctor Janet Nashayatt shows that a cold room can have a negative effect on health.
The cold sky causes muscle contractions, which leads to joint pain and other types of pain, and that gets worse if you are dehydrated,” she said.
Much cold air can also exacerbate asthma and dry mouth and nose.
Sarin says that if you have dry skin or eyes, or you are dehydrated and you live in air - conditioned space, such air can affect your health.
Many of these health symptoms are the result of the lack of fresh air, humidity or recycled air containing harmful substance”, she said.
It could be worse if you have allergies
Medical doctor Natasa Bayan says that spiders and pollen can be stuck in air conditioning filters and released when air conditioners turn on.
However, if you use only your air conditioning from time to time and regularly check whether the filters are in good condition, your lungs will be grateful as well as your heart.
The US Allergy, Astma and Immunology Academy recommends cleaning filters or replacing them every two weeks, for a maximum of one month, especially if you are prone to allergies.
