  The amount of water vapour present in the air determines the humidity of that air. The humidity in the air can affect anything and everything. High humidity levels make the substances more susceptible to fungi attack and also damage the industrial equipment. Certain work processes require optimum temperature, pressure and humidity for functioning. In the presence of extreme humidity manufacturing steps like production, processing, storage and packaging are hampered. Humidity control is most required in –   Electricity power plants – corrosion of machines or parts of machines leading to malfunctioning or failure of equipment. Pharmaceutical industry – humidity can cause various biochemical reactions and growth of various micro-organisms Agriculture – high humidity affect the drying and storage processes. It can significantly reduce the shelf life and germination potential of the seed. Electronics – humidity levels must be controlled in industries where electronic items are manufacture
