The pollen season has come again this year. According to the Japan Weather Association, pollen dispersal is expected to begin in some areas such as the Kanto and Tokai regions from early February. Moreover, the amount of scattering this year is expected to be 1.5 times that of last spring in some parts of Tokyo. Let's prepare well from now on not only for people who suffer from hay fever every year, but also for measures against hay fever in children, which has been increasing in recent years.

For people with hay fever, use a model that focuses on pollen countermeasures.

"An effective measure against pollen is an air purifier that quickly collects pollen brought in from the outside," says Makiko Tanaka, a home appliance writer. "Air purifiers are one of the home appliances that have received a lot of attention due to Korona-ka, but they are a product that sells well in the coming season when pollen is scattered. Generally, air purifiers remove pollen as a basic function. , People with hay fever are relieved to choose a model with more emphasis on pollen countermeasures "(Mr. Tanaka, same below), how to choose it? Let's ask in detail.

A model that shoots at the "30 cm above the floor" zone where pollen tends to collect

"First, pay attention to the effect of suppressing the action of allergens contained in pollen. Manufacturer's own ions such as Panasonic's" Nanoe "and Sharp's" Plasmacluster ", and Daikin's unique" Streamer "that oxidatively decomposes harmful substances. Technology is said to be effective in controlling pollen. ”How to absorb pollen is also an important checkpoint. "Because pollen is larger and heavier than other harmful substances, it falls to the floor relatively quickly. Therefore, by installing a suction port near the floor, models that firmly remove pollen near the floor are appearing one after another. If you have a family who spends a lot of time on the floor, such as those who sleep on a futon, or who sometimes lie on a rug instead of a sofa, suck up the pollen from the "30 cm above the floor zone". It's a good idea to choose a model that will help you. On the other hand, even if the suction port is not at the bottom, there is also the idea of ​​powerfully sucking it while floating in the air, and by humidifying it, the pollen will be moisturized. There is also an approach to make it heavier by sucking it in and make it harder for things that have fallen on the floor to scatter. In the latter case, choose an air purifier with a humidifying function or prepare a humidifier by itself. Of course, you dropped it on the floor. Also, don't forget to clean the floor thoroughly. ”This time, we asked you to introduce two recommended models for removing pollen. Both are models that absorb pollen from the "30 cm zone above the floor" and can be expected to have a plus alpha function.
