| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The population of bedridden elderly people in our country is overwhelmingly larger than that of welfare-developed countries. Welfare-developed countries provide the self-supporting nursing care equipment. In this study, we investigated the nursing care system and nursing care equipment in welfare-developed countries. The unpleasant odor results in the inhabitable atmosphere. We constructed a testing room simulating the bedroom environment of bedridden elderly people and examined the deodorizing effect in the vicinity of odor sources using deodorant fibers. The device was set up to simulate the indoor air flow of indoor, and the deodorizing effect of the deodorant fiber was examined with this device to understand the deodorant mechanism. The deodorizing fibers are installed in the exhaust duct and in the ventilating mattress, or applied to bedding in the next step, and the deodorizing efficiency was evaluated to optimize the effect of the deodorant fiber.
