Over the years we have carried out several studies that have allowed us to develop the nanoe™ X technology based on the hydroxyl radicals contained in the air humidity. Our continuous commitment to improve air quality has resulted in a series of tests to verify the effectiveness of this technology in inhibiting the development of pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, molds and viruses) and allergens and on the breakdown of particles PM 2.5, which led us to obtain various certifications derived from independent laboratory tests that are available on our website.”

Panasonic has exclusively supplied to FC Internazionale Milano over 200 portable nanoe™ X generators, which will be available in the future in the European market.
