Abstract

Described herein relates to an active force electric field anti-pathogenic fabric device and methods thereof used to remove pathogens from an environment surrounding the fabric. The device may be woven into daily clothing items, personal protective equipment, and/or other clothing items typically worn by a user. The device may include a current-carrying mesh that may be coated with active materials used to remove pathogens from the air. As such, the device may operate as an anti-pathogenic material that may be used to remove harmful particles from an area surrounding a user. Accordingly, microorganisms, smoke particles, industrial pollutants, odor molecules, and/or allergens may be structurally disassociated into harmless protein fragments and/or natural molecules when encountering the purifying agents in the device.
