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

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 23m3-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.
