6 Adverse Effects of Air Conditioners on Health

As the temperature increases it becomes difficult to stay without air conditioners. ACs provide comfort and respite from the heat, but it is also imperative to understand its adverse impact on health.


Air conditioners tend to reduce the humidity levels of the room, causing dry eyes. This can lead to redness, itching and other eye-related problems. Individuals who suffer from the problem of dry eyes must remain extra cautious.


While using air conditioners the environment gets very dry. This can cause dehydration in the body that cannot be replenished by drinking water.


Spending large amounts of time in an air-conditioned environment can make a person lethargic. Cool temperature lowers the body’s metabolic rate which may lead to an overall feeling of fatigue.

People with a history of respiratory issues can experience severe discomfort in an air-conditioned environment. The cool dry air may irritate the throat and cause coughing and sneezing.


Headache can result from the abrupt temperature shifts between the warm outdoor air and the cool indoor air. This can cause blood vessels in the brain to abruptly contract and expand. Prolonged exposure to cold, dry air can also trigger migraine and sinusitis.


It's possible that air conditioning systems aid in the transmission of infectious diseases. They can harbour bacteria, viruses, and fungi if not cleaned and maintained properly.
