What happens to NanoFlashing in the environment?
C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™ questions, with the company’s answers and the sources they come from.
Last reviewed: .
All questionsDoes the environmental assessment distinguish the bound material from released fragments?
What happens to a material in water, in soil or in a waste stream is decided by an environmental assessment.
Telling bound material apart from a released fragment is work of that kind. A health effects guideline is a method for health effects testing, not for that. A question about a named material and a named use can be sent to [email protected].

All questionsCan the material's persistence be evaluated separately from its functional durability?
What happens to a material in water, in soil or in a waste stream is decided by an environmental assessment.
Persistence in the environment and durability in use are different questions, and persistence is measured by work of that kind. A health effects guideline is a method for health effects testing, not for that. A question about a named material and a named use can be sent to [email protected].

All questionsWould NanoFlashing material affect a wastewater plant's biological process?
What a facility accepts is decided under the rules that apply to that facility.
The label states: “A used filter holds the dust and microorganisms it has taken out of the air.” The label states: “Dispose of the used filter and its packaging as ordinary household or commercial waste under Federal, State and local requirements. Do not burn. Do not reuse the filter.”

Does a biodegradation result identify whether the NanoFlashing material or the whole composite was assessed?
What happens to a material in water, in soil or in a waste stream is decided by an environmental assessment.
A biodegradation result comes from work of that kind, and it identifies the article it was run on. A health effects guideline is a method for health effects testing, not for that. A question about a named material and a named use can be sent to [email protected].

Can a product be considered recoverable while its captured contaminants remain environmentally problematic?
A used filter holds what it took out of the air, and how that waste is classified is decided by the people handling it under the rules that apply to them.
The label states: “A used filter holds the dust and microorganisms it has taken out of the air. Wear gloves, and eye protection and a dust mask where dust is heavy.” The label states: “Dispose of the used filter and its packaging as ordinary household or commercial waste under Federal, State and local requirements. Do not burn. Do not reuse the filter.”

Are manufacturing emissions included alongside releases during customer use?
The company's statement on release is about the air in use, not about leaching or manufacture: the Statement of Classification states, “It generates no ozone and emits nothing into the air passing through it.”
A materials review that needs more than the company's published pages is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.
