Last reviewed: .
All questions in this libraryWhich indoor-air concerns fall outside the evidence supplied for this product?
The published record covers airborne particles and the organisms named in it, and it covers no gas, no vapour and no odour.
The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. On the Validation page the viruses are SARS-CoV-2, human coronavirus 229E, Coxsackievirus B6, bovine coronavirus, pseudo-type SARS-CoV-2, influenza A H3N2 and Phi6 bacteriophage; the bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis; the fungi are Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans.
C-POLAR publishes no evidence for a gas, a vapour or an odour, and it makes no claim about one. A pollutant that is not named in a published record is not covered by one. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”

All questionsWould it address carbon monoxide from a faulty appliance?
C-POLAR publishes no evidence for a gas, a vapour or an odour, and it makes no claim about one.
Carbon monoxide is a gas, and it is detected by a carbon monoxide alarm, not by a filter. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. General enquiries go to [email protected]. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

All questionsCan it address gaseous ozone already present in incoming air?
The company makes no claim about removing ozone from air that already carries it.
What it states about ozone is what the filter does not make. NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. That is a statement about what leaves the filter, not a statement about what the filter takes out.
C-POLAR publishes no evidence for a gas or a vapour, and it makes no claim about one. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction.

What evidence applies to ultrafine traffic particles?
Traffic is one of the sources the company names for ultrafine particles, and what it publishes for them is laboratory testing of the filter.
The Ultrafine Particles page states: “Vehicles, fires and smoke release ultrafine particles smaller than 100 nanometers.” It also states that current filtration standards do not rate ultrafine particles, and that HEPA and MERV ratings measure filter performance at 300 nanometers, about 3x larger than the top of the ultrafine range, so a filter's rating does not show how it performs on ultrafine particles. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction.
The named records are LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, a single-pass fractional efficiency test on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct, in accordance with standard LMS aerosol test procedures, and the LMS Technologies Pine-Needle Smoke Report LMS#10471 of 20 October 2025, measured as single-pass fractional efficiency in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct. Report LMS#9904 records an arithmetic mean efficiency of 75.4% across 16 to 604 nanometres for that 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter, measured single-pass in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct under standard LMS aerosol test procedures; it is a single-pass laboratory result, and it does not establish performance on traffic particles in a street or a building, or over a service life. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”

Does it capture pollen fragments as well as intact pollen grains?
Pollen is named in the company's published sentence, and a pollen fragment is not.
The named air records are LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, a single-pass fractional efficiency test on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct, in accordance with standard LMS aerosol test procedures, and LMS Technologies, Report 6847, 5 November 2024, ASHRAE 52.2-2017 with Appendix J, on a 24 × 24 × 30 in. pocket filter, and Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011 under ISO 16890, and each one covers the article and the conditions printed in it. Report 6847 is on a 24 × 24 × 30 in. pocket filter and Certificate No. 15.06.011 on a ten-pocket bag filter, not on a flat panel filter, and a rating belongs to the construction that was tested and to the conditions in the report. NanoFlashing™ is a patented permanent positive polarity (3P) technology. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction, and the pollutants the company names for air are ultrafine particles, wildfire smoke and pollen. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”
The company publishes no separate result for a fragment of a pollen grain, and it does not carry a result across to something a test did not cover. Certificate No. 15.06.011 can be looked up at source in the Eurovent Certita Certification certified product directory.

Does a claimed effect on smoke include its gas phase?
The company's published smoke testing is about particles, and it makes no claim about the gas phase of smoke.
The Wildfire Smoke page states that much of wildfire smoke is made up of fine and ultrafine particles, and many carry an electric charge. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The records named under wildfire smoke and ultrafine particles on the Validation page are LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, a single-pass fractional efficiency test on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct, in accordance with standard LMS aerosol test procedures, and LMS Technologies, Report 6847, 5 November 2024, ASHRAE 52.2-2017 with Appendix J, on a 24 × 24 × 30 in. pocket filter, and Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011. The smoke report the company's statements cite is LMS Technologies, Inc., Pine-Needle Smoke Report, LMS#10471, 20 October 2025, single-pass fractional efficiency in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct.
C-POLAR publishes no evidence for a gas or a vapour, and a measurement of particle capture says nothing about a gas. Certificate No. 15.06.011 can be looked up at source in the Eurovent Certita Certification certified product directory.

Will the pollen the filter catches blow back out when the furnace turns on?
A used NanoFlashing™ filter holds the particles it has captured.
The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The Wildfire Smoke page states that the filter “captures and retains” wildfire smoke, and the Ultrafine Particles page states that it “captures and holds” ultrafine particles. The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label states: “A used filter holds the dust and microorganisms it has taken out of the air.” The company publishes no measurement of captured material coming back off a NanoFlashing™ filter into the air. The Validation page reports measurements in four buildings where NanoFlashing™ was installed; at a financial landmark in London, particulates, bioaerosols and energy were all measured lower after the air handling unit filters were changed to NanoFlashing™. Each is one building over one period, and it is not a result for another building.
