What is the active ingredient in NanoFlashing™?

The term “active ingredient” belongs to pesticide registration, not to the company's description of NanoFlashing™: C-POLAR describes a charge, and states that the filter incorporates no substance or mixture of substances to perform its intended pesticidal purpose.

NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. 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. NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through. The company classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a), and its Statement of Regulatory Status under European Union law states: “It contains no active substance.” The company does not publish the composition of the media.
