Abstract: A process is provided for removing viruses and micro-organisms from building air by inactivation of those biological elements within an HVAC filter having exuding halogenated material therein. The filter for the HVAC systems has the exuded halogenated material applied with a tackified material via a sequential spraying operation prior to heat curing either of those materials. The filter can subsequently be formed with other laminated materials for increased efficiency, and pleated for use in the HVAC system.
