Humidifiers
Benefits a whole home humidifier may provide.
-
Dry air produces more dust by creating static that attracts the manufacturing of dust through dead skin cells that acts as an adhesive to dander, dirt, biological matter, mold spores and various other fine particulate matter. RH levels at 30-50% will drastically reduce or completely eliminate static. Eliminating a significant static presence in your indoor environment will reduce dust from being manufactured sooner, which means dust build up takes longer to occur.

As an interesting side benefit, some house plants will respond positively to increased humidity levels versus very dry air.
