Japanese technology and appliances major SHARP Corporation expects a
major push in India from the Plasmacluster Ion (PCI)technology featuring
in its appliances, which enables them to identify and remove toxic air
pollutants.
Indian Institutes of Technology, Delhi have verifed the company's Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) technology.
The technology is a significant feature in its air purifier segment as
it efficiently removes Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, company
officials said.
"Sharp Corporation, working in collaboration
with Associate Professor Sagnik Dey and Associate Professor Gazala Habib
of IIT-Delhi has demonstrated that Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) has an
efficacy to remove PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons), which are
contained as toxic air pollutants in Indian cities," the company said in
a statement.
The project started in 2018 by measuring the
composition of particulate matter in air pollutants in New Delhi NCR
region of India. As a result, many types of pollutants were identified,
including PAHs, which are known to be toxic to the human body.
Sharp Business Systems (India) Managing Director Shinji Minatogawa said
that this is the first time the company has carried out such
verification process in India in collaboration with academic faculty,
and said that it is the start of making people know about the
technology, which it uses in several of its products, including
refrigerators, air conditioners apart from air purifiers.
"Plasmacluster Ion is a revolutionary air purification technology from
which positive ions and negative ions are released into the air
simultaneously. These positive and negative ions instantly recombine on
the surface of pollutants such as bacteria, viruses and chemical
compounds floating in the air to form hydroxyl (OH) radicals, which have
extremely high oxidation ability, and this chemical reaction decomposes
the cellular compounds or chemical structures, thereby neutralizing
their toxicity," the company said in a statement.
