FEATURES

"Plasmacluster" technology

Plasmacluster technology uses plas- ma discharge to produce and release the same positive and negative ions as those found in nature ("Plasma- cluster ions").

This is a unique air cleaning technol- ogy of the SHARP CORPORATION for breaking down and eliminating such potential allergens as the fecal matter or corpses of aerial mites*1, viruses *2 and mold and bacteria *3 suspended in the air, and has been substantiated by third-party organiza- tions both in Japan and overseas.

When there is a high density of Plas- macluster ions in the air, the smell of cigarette smoke trapped in curtains or sofas is eliminated in about 80 minutes, and when clothing is hung in a place exposed to the direct air ex- pelled from the unit generating Plas- macluster ions, the smell of sweat is reduced to a virtually imperceptible level in one night (about 6 hours).
