NANOHUB patented Kill the Virus (KtV) filter
The KtV filter, eliminates viruses and bacteria using the natural process of
photocatalysis in which a substance, called photocatalyst, through the action of light
(natural or artificial) accelerates a chemical reaction that destroys pathogenic substances.

Deactivation of the SARS-COV-2 virus
                     Tested by San Raffaele Hospital
The patented KtV filter was tested by Dr Elisa Vicenzi, Director of the Viral Pathogenesis and Biosecurity
Unit at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.
A liquid solution test was carried out to verify virus inactivation after treatment with the KtV filter at four-
time intervals (10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes).

SIMA VERIFIED

                The Italian Society of Environmental Medicine has
                always fought to verify that communications about
                products that reduce pollutants are true.
                For this reason, it only grants its "SIMA VERIFIED"
                mark to companies that submit their products to
                scientific validation by a third-party public body.
                SIMA has verified the test carried out at the
                San Raffaele hospital in relation to its ability to
                inactivate the Sars-Cov-2 virus and has deemed
                the KTV filter worthy of its SIMA VERIFIED
                mark.

                    Bacteriophage virus
                    Tested by Gebze Technical University in Turkey
  The device used for the test has been produced by the Gebze University and it is based on the
  PATENTED NANOHUB filtration system KtV (Kill The Virus) filter.
  This photocatalyst filter is inverted and sealed on fabrics that have been contaminated.
  The scope of the test was to verify the efficacy of the NANOHUB technology against bacteria
  and viruses on surfaces and fabrics over a period of time in an interval of 1,3,5 hours.

Quality of life for drivers
                      tested by Insubria University
  Indoor pollution is responsible for 2.7% of the global disease burden in the world.
  Focusing on vehicles, the air inside car can be qualitatively 15 times worse than the one outside.
  - For this test it has been selected a group of professional drivers that spend 40%/50% of their
  day in the car and their nasal cytology samples have been collected.
  - Then an air purification system with KtV filter was installed on the vehicle of all patients.
  - After three months, the patients underwent a new sample for nasal cytology.

From the data it is evident how the inflammatory cells in the nasal secretion have sensibly decreased
                                               and
                              that bacteria and spores disappeared.

SCHOOLS
We have installed our Levante in several schools, improving air quality and the health of students.

After the installation of the devices, air quality was monitored periodically highlighting the ability of
our KtV filter to significantly reduce bacterial and viral loads, VOCs, other pollutants in the
environment (Nox, Formaldehyde, etc.), spores, mould and allergens.

TEST RESULTS on VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCs) in Teuliè School
 Teuliè Military School in Milan chose NANOHUB Levante 250 to improve the air quality inside
 its classrooms .
 The of VOC has been constantly checked with an Aircare device from Harpa Italia.

                                                               VOCs are chemical compounds characterized by
                                                               volatility (the ability to evaporate easily in the air
                                                               at room temperature).
                                                               They can be of natural, man-made or mixed origin
                                                               and can cause short and long term damage to

                                                               VOCs are consistently higher indoors, often up to
                                                               10 times higher, than those measured outdoors.

        The VOC remained always low and below the warning levels: 58 ppb.
  The only picks detected were due to opened windows and sanitizers switch off, proving that
         outdoor air can be worse then indoor one due to pollution up to 5 –10 times.

In order to evaluate the impact on air quality, a sampling and analysis of the bacterial and fungal load was
carried out inside the Milan branch of Banco di Desio e della Brianza.
The air quality was measured first without the NANOHUB devices, and after one week of sanitization with 8
NANOHUB devices in 3 different environments: the central area, the director's office and the consulting
office.

                          Reductions ranging from 50% to 80% for bacterial load
                      and from 23% to 73% for fungal load (see next slide for details).

                                                             The data show a relevant decrease

Supermarket, Forlì (FC)

           In three different stores, the presence of ethylene was detected using Syft-MS
           (Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectometry) technology, which is able, through a
           continuous process, to identify and quantify the volatile organic substances present
           in the environment.

                    Data shows effectiveness of NANOHUB devices, showing up to
                                80% reduction in ethylene presence

     In the Multicash supermarket, the test was carried out by switching the devices on and
       off for very short times. Again, the results show a significant reduction of ethylene.

Effects of KtV filter treatment on kiwi and lemon
Supermarket, ITALY

  After 2 months of treatment in De Rigo fridge, the skin of the fruit stored with the photocatalytic
  filter is still in excellent condition, while where the filter was not present the skin is dried-up and
  holey. The difference is also evident inside: kiwi fruit stored without the filter is overripe,
  yellow/brown in colour and no longer edible.

 The KtV filter allows significant savings in the handling of fruit and vegetables, prolonging their
                  shelf-life and allowing the goods to be left in the refrigerated counters
               without having to move them to the cold rooms during shop closing hours.

                                               The innovation of the patented ETRA lies in
                                               the integration of the photocatalytic
                                               technology based on Tungsten trioxide and

                                               completely and continuously sanitised, unlike
                                               other systems simply applied inside the bus
                                               and self-powered by small motors and fans.
