Electronics are sensitive to extremes of humidity. Conductivity in devices can be modified by high humidity. That can lead to corrosion a
malfunction. Condensation (dew point problem) can also be a real problem. On the other hand, low humidity can cause components to b
and can be dangerous if we think about ESD. Electric devices are usually designed for humidity ranges that are healthy for human beings

Dew-point problem
When the temperature is at dew point the relative humidity is 100%. At this point dew can occur, that can cause corrosion and
electric shorts, that leads to serious damage in electric equipment. This temperature varies depending on humidity and
pressure.
