When I lived in a dry apartment, I used tap water in an ultrasonic humidifier. It always coated the furniture with fine dust. When the water evaporates, the mineral content falls out of the air. When I used distilled water in it, it didn't happen. Also, the inducers are often made of metal. Mine was and when I left the CS in it overnight, the silver plated out on the metal inducer. So if you use an ultrasonic humidifier to breath from, take the CS out afterwards and use fresh each time. Hope this is helpful. Centrifugal vaporizors work with CS but the droplets are larger and I don't think they go as deep but it would sure go to the bronchi. Seems to me either one would produce a fine silver dust that would settle if you left them on for long and used them often. Ian
