Isn't killing all bacteria a bad thing? Most bacteria are harmless.
The filter works only on the air that passes through it, and the company does not claim that it tells a bacterium that causes illness from one that does not.
The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it.” The filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures. It destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge. The air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it. The company publishes no test on beneficial bacteria; the bacteria it names as tested are Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis.
