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.
