That includes that fried food smell from your favorite drive-through and allergens like pollen and pet dander, and helps inhibit viruses, bacteria, and mold. Panasonic's proprietary nanoe X technology produces tiny electrically-charged water particles containing an oxidizing agent that effectively breaks down substances in the air. In simple terms, it's really effective at cleaning the air and doesn't require a filter.
