1. A method of generating a humid air flow, comprising the steps of:

  • irradiating water stored in a reservoir with ultraviolet radiation;

    conveying an air flow over water stored in the reservoir; and

    atomizing water stored in the reservoir to humidify the air flow;

    wherein water stored in the reservoir is agitated for a period of time during the irradiation of water stored in the reservoir prior to the atomization of water stored in the reservoir, wherein the period of time depends on a degree of agitation of the stored water, a capacity of the water reservoir, and an intensity of the irradiation of the stored water.
