PlaDeo: Electronic Device Eliminates Body Odor Using Plasma Technology
By
DRJC
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A new electronic armpit device called PlaDeo uses plasma to eliminate body odor by killing bacteria that produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in sweat, making deodorant unnecessary. The device was invented by doctors at Hanyang University in South Korea and has won an Innovation Award at CES 2020.

· 3 pulledIt's not your underarm sweat that stinks, it's the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by bacteria as they break down the fatty acids in that sweat.
Known as the PlaDeo (as in, plasma deodorant), the gadget was invented by doctors TaeHo Lim and JungChi Seo at South Korea's Hanyang University.
An earlier version, called the Pragant, won an Innovation Award at CES 2020.
