Bamboo charcoal is a type of charcoal made from mao bamboo aged older than 5 years which is heated in pyrogeneration technology. Bamboo charcoal is porous in structure and is highly absorptive and can form anion and release far infrared ray. This type of charcoal is capable of purifying air, dehumidifying, absorbing sweat, clearing bad odor, blocking electromagnetic radiation, speeding up blood circulation and metabolism and overcoming exhaust.

     Bamboo charcoal is featured with 9 capabilities: 1. Absorption; 2. Release far infrared ray; 3. Emit anion; 4. Release microelements; 5. Control breeding of microorganism; 6. Adjust crop growth; 7. Repel insects and disinfect; 8. Oxidation resistance; 9. Electrostatic screen and anti-electromagnetic radiation.

Air pollution and water pollution have for long been two environmental problems impeding social development and evolvement. The social development and evolvement are always beset with conflict between mankind’s pursuit of modern civilization and their aspiration for returning to nature. On one hand, people equip their houses with a larger number of telecom and electric appliances, but the invisible electromagnetic wave emitted from those appliances does greater harm to them on the other; people enrich their diet with more and more protein, but they are more likely to be allergic to it; people begin to decorate their apartments in a more and more sophisticated way, but the indoor air is more and more tainted with formaldehyde and benzene materials used for decoration. In this respect, bamboo charcoal can play a significant role in easing and solving the environmental problems. The age-old bamboo charcoal combined with the modern heating method turns into a new type of environmentally-sound and healthcare product. Bamboo charcoal has been entitled as “New Environment Guard of China in The 21^st. Century”. Even over 10 years ago, bamboo charcoal was all the rage in Japan.
　　Professor Zhang Qisheng, an academician of China Engineering Academy and president of Zhejiang Forestry Institute once thought: the role of bamboo charcoal and charcoal as the energy resources has already been outdated. As a material for environmental protection, bamboo charcoal was applied to use dating back to ancient time. So we shall scientifically prove its mechanism of environmental benefit and determine the right way to use it before putting it into wider use in China. We wish that bamboo in the 21^st. Century not only contributes to ecologic environment improvement when it is alive, but also continues to help mankind purify the living environment after it is made into bamboo charcoal.
