Numerous threats to human health and ecosystems on earth exist due to air pollution and the spread of fatal diseases. Airborne pollutants and particulate matter (PM) pose serious public health risks. In addition, the emergence and spread of bacterial and viral diseases constantly threaten public health and safety. Although various approaches have been implemented thus far to protect humans from air pollution and exposure to diseases, several challenges remain to be addressed. In this study, we developed a hybrid air filter consisting of filtration, heating, and thermal insulation layers. The air filtration layer can effectively capture airborne PM(1) particles (less than 1.0 mum in diameter). Furthermore, the heating layer enables the hybrid air filter to generate temperatures above 100 degrees C, and the insulation layer prevents the heat from being transferred to the other side (e.g., the human skin, if the hybrid air filter is used in a facemask). Since several bacteria and viruses are incapacitated under high temperatures, this hybrid air filter holds great promise for antibacterial and antiviral protection.
