Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Foul smell originated from body odor and excretion causes indecent problems in hospitals and nursing facilities. It has been attempted with methods of reducing such odor in the entire room, it is a loss in the cost and energy. In this study, we have developed a system to reduce foul smell from body origin efficiently by installing deodorant nonwoven near the source of odor. First we set up a device which yields similar indoor environment in the hospital by considering the air circulation through human, clothing and room space in order to assess a suitability of deodorant nonwoven for clothes, filter and bedding. In the next step, we adjusted indoor environment to simulate a full-scale hospital room, and applied deodorant nonwoven for bedding in combination with ventilation mattress to evaluate deodorant effect. As the result, satisfactory effectiveness is obtained to deodorize near the source of odor and also obtained basic knowledge of personal correspondence type deodorant system.
