# NanoFlashing™ Air | C-POLAR Source: https://cpolar.tech/air/ The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter attracts and captures ultrafine particles and wildfire smoke, and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores. This is the text of that page, in a form a machine can read. Nothing here is paraphrased, shortened or added to. Last reviewed: 2026-09-13 ## NanoFlashing™ Air Government agencies tell people to use a MERV-13 filter, but that rating is measured on a clean, brand-new filter. An EPA study showed that a MERV-13 air filter lost about 95% of its efficiency after just 10 milligrams of wildfire smoke. And a conventional filter catches what it catches, it does not inactivate or kill it. In a warm, damp filter pathogens and molds stay alive. The University of Minnesota recovered 39 species of live bacteria from the HVAC filter systems of two buildings. The University of Cincinnati measured a loaded filter shedding up to 12% of the spores it caught back into the air. The filter meant to remove them becomes a reservoir, held alive in the airstream it feeds. Nothing warns you. The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. The filter attracts and captures ultrafine particles and wildfire smoke, and destroys up to 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism, with no power and no chemicals.
