Breathe Easy with Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifiers
Natural Breathable Air Asthma and allergy sufferers understand the importance of clean air. Animal dander, pollen and many other airborne contaminants cause and exacerbate allergies, particularly in the home. With more of our time spent indoors, reducing these invisible substances from the air around us is important because they can impact upon our wellbeing. Sharp s Air Purifiers use Plasmacluster technology to help inactivate harmful airborne substances and make our living environment cleaner and healthier. Sharp s range of Plasmacluster Air Purifiers help to provide a quick and powerful cleansing effect for an entire room, by removing or deactivating a range of airborne allergens and other substances providing clean, safe air quality in the home..used in a variety of industries Plasmacluster Ion technology is recognized and used across a wide range of industries. In collaboration with a number of companies, Sharp has expanded the Plasmacluster Ion technology to the following industries: Bath/shower room heating/ventilation/ drying Automotive air conditioning 24-hour central floor ventilation Air conditioning for large tourist buses 24-hour residential ventilation Automotive air purifiers Ion duct conveyance Air cleaners for babies Home central air conditioning Hot water heaters/dryers Mist sauna Gas heaters Elevators Plasmacluster Ion lighting Automotive Plasmacluster Ion generators Smoking area Toilets with bidet seats GLP* compliant test facilities have gathered safety data on Sharp s Plasmacluster technology after testing for; Skin irritation/corrosion Eye irritation/corrosion Inhalation toxicity (lung tissue genetic impact assessment) The effectiveness of Plasmacluster Ions is being proven worldwide Proven at 13 Institutions in Japan and around the world.

Plasmacluster Technology Sharp Air Purifiers contain a Plasmacluster Ion generator that releases positive and negative ions into the air. The Plasmacluster Ions diffuse through the room, surrounding airborne allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses, converting hydrogen molecules in their surface proteins into water. 1. 2. 3. Release Plasmacluster Ions. Attack suspended airborne microbes. Return to the air as water. Hydroxide (CH) radical Hydroxide (H) Water (H2O) Protein Plasmacluster Ions are similar to positive and negative ions found in nature. The ions are surrounded by water molecules, and are released into the air. The ions form hydroxide (OH) radicals that are highly oxidising when they adhere to the surfaces of airborne microbes like suspended allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses. They remove hydrogen from the surface proteins, breaking them down. The hydroxide (OH) radicals combine with hydrogen (H) to form water (H2O) which returns to the air. Plasmacluster Ions: * Reduce suspended allergens and floating mould spores with positive and negative ions Plasmacluster Ions are helpful in deactivating allergens caused by dust mites and in deactivating mould spores that can cause mildew in the home. Sharp Air Purifiers help to improve the quality of the air you breathe. Reduce suspended viruses with positive and negative ions Plasmacluster Ions break down and remove projecting spikeshaped proteins of suspended viruses such as influenza, reducing their effects. Neutralise odour-causing molecules with positive and negative ions Plasmacluster Ion technology helps reduce the source of a wide range of unpleasant household odours including cooking, pets, garbage and cigarette smoke odours. Freshen the air with negative ions Using negative ions, Sharp Air Purifiers help to clean and refresh the air. The release of negative ions creates a feel good atmosphere similar to naturally occurring environments like a rainforest or near a waterfall. Major advantages of Plasmacluster Ions: + - Deactivates airborne allergens, bacteria, mould spores and viruses. + - Reduces unpleasant odours at molecule level. - Refreshes the air by replenishing it with negative ions. 30 MILLION * units worldwide Sharp sales of products incorporating Plasmacluster Ion Technology has exceeded 30 Million units worldwide. * Total number of Sharp plasmacluster products and Plasmacluster ion generating devices shipped within Japan and overseas between October 2000 and December 2010.
