Effect

Breakdown/inhibition of hazardous substances^¹ 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 2
Chemical reactions make particles

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

Hazardous substances	Properties of substances	IARC² Evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans
Aromatic carboxylic acid (Benzoic acid)	Considered to be one cause of acid rain	-
Paraffin (Hexadecane)	Contained in gasoline and diesel exhaust gas, and considered to be one cause of oil odour	-
Benz [a] anthracene (BaA)	Considered to be high carcinogenic risk	2B Possibly carcinogenic to humans
Benzo [b] fluoranthene (BbF)	Considered to be high carcinogenic risk	2B Possibly carcinogenic to humans
Benzo [a] pyrene (BaP)	Considered to be high carcinogenic risk	1 Carcinogenic to humans

How nanoe™ X works

nanoe™ X reaches hazardous substance.

Hydroxyl radicals denature hazardous substance.

Hazardous substance is inhibited.¹

¹Testing organisation: 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.
