For bronchitis you should inhale very small water salt solution.
I get it for incent or smoke but why would water do harm or my cooking smells?

What makes you believe that what the article says is true?

It's not the water. It's the minerals in the water, which become fine airborne particulates as part of the process. Other types of humidifiers don't have this problem, though some can be prone to mold instead.

#8In this day and age of "I did my research on the internet" ridicule, there's a fair part of me that treats this with a grain of salt. Though it kind of makes sense, and I get how non-distilled water could create issues (as documented).

They'll usually advertise it, or you can tell if they don't require a filter and are 'cool mist' then it's likely ultrasonic. The other types of humidifiers use a fan blowing over a filter/wick that absorbs water, or generate steam (i.e. warm mist).

#10In my experience, using distilled water or ZeroWater-filtered water does not produce any meaningful amount of PM2.5 or PM1 particulates when used in ultrasonic humidifiers.
