(f) Pharmaceutical industry needs refrigeration to reduce air borne bacteria and dirt to preserve products i.e. Gelatin capsules requires very dry air, and pills and tablets require air-conditioning to maintain their quality.
(g) Photographic products deteriorate rapidly at high temperatures and high humidity. Therefore their control is essential.
(h) Farm animals: air conditioning of farm houses improves the quality and quantity of milk
