What is “Catechin air
fi
lter”?
The air
fi
lter is dyed with a natural material, catechin, that is contained in tea. The catechin air
fi
lter deodorizes
odor and noxious gases such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and acetaldehyde. Moreover, it restrains the activity
of the viruses adhering to the
fi
lter.
