Research Abstract |
As the removal methods for many kinds of environmental pollutants ,which exist in our living environment, Odorants containing essential oil are expected to be one such method involving emissions into the air. It was found that the leaf oil of Todomatsu (Abies sachalinensis) has a function for removing nitrogen dioxide effectively, and myrcene and phellandrene were isolated as active removal components from todomatsu leaf oil. Furthermore, it was found that after a reaction with nitrogen dioxide and essential oil which produce particulate matter generated with particle sizes of 800 nm or more for an instant by making full use of Scanning Probe Microscope(SPM), Particle counter, Aerosol-MS(AMS) and PTR-MS.
