Effect

Breakdown/inhibition of hazardous
substances¹ found in PM 2.5

Breakdown effects of harmful substances such as aromatic acid (benzoic acid), paraffin (hexadecane) has been verified.1

What are hazardous substances ?

PM 2.5 particles include a variety of hazardous substances with sources that are unlikely to be eliminated.

[PM 2.5 Generation routes]

For these reasons, it can be said that we are constantly exposed to risks from various hazardous substances.

Generation route 1
Direct emission

Generation route 1

Generation route 2
Chemical reactions make particles

Hazardous substances fall to the ground due to weather conditions
A: Gaseous substances
B: Also enter rooms

Generation route 2

Are they breathing truly fresh air?

In today’s urban environments, quality indoor air is a precious commodity. nanoe™ X helps keep the air indoors fresher and cleaner, breaking down airborne PM 2.5 to support the health of your loved ones.

How nanoe™ X works

nanoe™ X reaches hazardous substance.

nanoe™ X reaches hazardous substance.

Hydroxyl radicals denature hazardous substance.

Hydroxyl radicals denature hazardous substance.

Hazardous substance is inhibited.1

Hazardous substance is inhibited.

1Testing organization: Panasonic Product Analysis Center. Testing method: measured the amount of adhered organic substances in an approximately 23 m3-sized test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ released. Test results: Aromatic carboxylic acid (benzoic acid) broken down at least 99% in approximately 8 hours; (Y17NF096) Paraffin (hexadecane) broken down at least 99% in approximately 16 hours. (Y17NF089)

 

Results may vary based on usage, and seasonal and environmental variables (temperature and humidity). nanoe™ X and nanoe™ inhibit activity or growth of pollutants, but do not prevent illness.
