What Are The Harmful Effects Of Air Conditioning On Human Body?
Question: I have recently moved from my parents house to an apartment. What worries me is that the a/c compressor is just outside my window which in essence is right behind my bed. So my head is just a couple of inches form the compressor. Only a thin wall separates us. Does this poses a health problem
Brief Answer:
Not much possible to be cause of a health problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
Total methods of instalation of these devices have developed and if they have bought it the last years, it should be no problem.
Also, things that may help us determine that its safe are the level of humidity in the inside part of the wall (if you see the wall be wet or rotten more often then the others), if you feel cold or if bothers you in any way.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako

I was not talking about humidity. I was talking about emf. What worries me is the fact that the compressor of the a/c is only a couple of inches from my head since it is right outside the window and my bed is in front of the window.
Brief Answer:
EMF has nothing to do with health.
Detailed Answer:
Direct AC compressor sometimes can lead to skin disorders like dry skin,itching,flakes.
EMF has got nothing to do with health as there is a wall between, You don't need to worry.
