The adoption of new building materials with enhanced air-tightness has exacerbated the problem of indoor air pollution caused by emission of chemicals used in the building materials, revealing the problem of chemical sensitivities, and sick building, sick house and sick school syndromes. Our Environmental Medical Center is indispensable to the diagnosis and treatment of such symptoms.: It is a facility from which the maximum effort is made to remove not only dust, mites, pollen and other such allergens present in air, but also the slightest hint of any chemical substances, airborne microbes and other such environmental factors.

Through the comprehensive combination of chemical substance removal technology, anti-outgassing technology and non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) monitoring, the first Environmental Medical Center (patent no.3064955) was created. The Environmental Medical Center facilities used for diagnosis and treatment also require chemical substance injection systems and indoor airborne microbe sterilization technology.

The development of these technologies resulted in the Environmental Medical Center, which can be used to diagnose and treat the symptoms of chemical sensitivities, and sick school and sick building syndromes.

An increasing number of people around the world are developing allergies to pollen, mite,and other irritants. As a result, there is an increasing demand for a controlled space in which the efficacy of various new anti-allergic drugs and goods (masks, etc.) can be verified. The Artificial Exposure Chamber generates a circulating air stream in the chamber at a constant antigen concentration, temperature, humidity and air flow rate, thereby enabling many people to undergo extended exposure tests. After the test, the chamber can be automatically cleaned with pure water and dried with hot air in preparation for the next exposure test.
