A face mask and/or face mask insert infused with specifically aged Artemisia argyi pieces or moxa and at least one essential oil, configured to facilitate the purification of air breathed by a user via the filtration of particulates and pathogens, as well as eradication of pathogens via the natural antiviral and antibacterial properties inherent in Artemisia argyi. Further, a nasal spray, infused with Artemisia argyi, bundled with the face mask and/or face mask insert, is present to enhance the antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties imbued to the face coverings.

A composition for disinfecting air including a biochar combined with a biocide. According to an embodiment, the biocide is mechanically active, i.e. it destroys, prevents the action of the pathogenic microorganism by mechanical action and without chemical action. Another aspect relates to a device for disinfecting air including the composition and a support. Another aspect relates to the use of the composition for disinfecting air or a disinfection device for reducing the amount of pathogenic microorganisms in an air flow. The present disclosure relates to the field of air disinfection. In an embodiment, it can be applied to the treatment of air for the purpose of suppressing pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi. An embodiment can be applied in an air treatment device for treating enclosed spaces such as an entire structure or specific spaces in a building or any transport vehicle.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for eliminating acarids, such as dust mites. The methods include contacting a sheet impregnated with an acarid attracting composition with an object containing acarids. Acarids enter the sheet, which can then be removed to eliminate the acarids. Also disclosed are to acarid attracting compositions and products and kits for attracting, trapping and eliminating acarids.

Antimicrobial compositions for killing or deactivating microbes, such as viruses, bacteria, or fungi, include metal nanoparticles, a carrier, and a plurality of metal nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can be selected to have a particle size and particle size distribution to selectively and preferentially kill one of a virus, a bacterium, or a fungus. Antiviral compositions can include nanoparticles having a particle size of 8 nm or less, 1-7 nm, 2-6.5 nm, or 3-6 nm. Antibacterial compositions can include nanoparticles having a particle size of 3-14 nm, 5-13 nm, 7-12 nm, or 8-10 nm. Antifungal compositions can include nanoparticles having a particle size of 9-20 nm, 10-18 nm, 11-16 nm, or 12-15 nm.
