Abstract

A method of microfiltration of inhaled air for nasal application and product for reducing the risk of inhalation of fine and ultra-fine (i.e., microscopic and submicroscopic) sized atmospheric pollutants by applying a formulation topically to the skin above the upper-lip and in close proximity of the nasal passages. The products of this formulation, when applied, create an electrostatic field for reducing the inhalation of fine and ultra-fine airborne pollutants.
