When it is hot and humid outside, most of us enjoy air-conditioning. Although many people believe that air-conditioning only cools the indoor air, it also controls its moisture content and cleanliness. Because human comfort depends on humidity to a large degree, air-conditioning can remove moisture from the air or add it as necessary. Air-conditioning devices also control air circulation by bringing in fresh air and removing polluted air. During winter, it warms the air to a comfortable temperature and pumps clean, moist air into the quarters where people live and work. In business offices, air-conditioning improves the efficiency of workers. In air-conditioned offices, employees become less tired, make fewer mistakes and have fewer accidents. The same can be said about drivers who may feel tired and sleepy while sitting in a warm vehicle. That is why driving an air-conditioned car makes one less prone to accidents, especially in the afternoon or evening.
