Panasonic Donates Air Sterilization and Deodorization Machines to Assistance Dog Training Center

Panasonic Corporation Air Quality and Air Conditioning Company has donated four commercial hypochlorous acid air sterilization and deodorization machines, “ジアイーノ” (Ziaino), to the “Cynthia’s Hill Comprehensive Training Center for Assistance Dogs” in June 2024. This donation aims to provide a clean and comfortable air environment for the training center.

The Assistance Dog Comprehensive Training Center – Cynthia’s Hill, located in Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture, is Japan’s first specialized training facility for assistance dogs. The center welcomes many visitors who want to deepen their understanding of assistance dogs through monthly tours and inspections. However, this has led to growing concern about indoor air quality, including odor and hygiene.

In response to this situation, Panasonic Air Quality and Conditioning Company donated the Ziaino machines, which have a proven track record of adoption in various locations, including homes, medical facilities, educational institutions, nursing care sites, and animal-related sites. The machines are renowned for their antibacterial and deodorizing capabilities. The units were installed in locations such as the kennels where training dogs live and the entrance hall, where many people come and go.

A staff member at the facility commented, “We would like to make full use of the Ziaino, which contributes to a clean and comfortable air environment, so that visitors to Cynthia’s Hill can feel safe and secure.”

Panasonic Air Quality and Conditioning will continue to utilize its unique hypochlorous acid technology to contribute to creating safe and comfortable indoor air environments.
