Inhalation of dusty and dry air makes the mucous membrane in the nasopharynx dry out, which can cause soreness, soreness and burning sensation in the throat. To exclude perspiration and dry throat, it is necessary to monitor the temperature and humidity in the room. Indicators at the level of 20-23 are considered optimal.^OC and 50%, respectively.
