Differences among hypochlorous acid products *
The properties of hypochlorous acid vary depending on its pH value, which indicates whether it is acidic or alkaline, and the concentration of the hypochlorous acid. Some pH values and concentration levels require caution for handling. The Aqua ziaino® created by Panasonic’s ziaino® is slightly alkaline with a pH of 8.5. The balance between effectiveness and safety is emphasized, making it safe to use in manned spaces.

Hypochlorous acid is produced in the human body as well.
Hypochlorous acid is produced by neutrophils, a type of white blood cell in human blood that attacks and eliminates foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses that invade the body.
