A polarized LED filter. The polarized LED filter comprises one or more components which are designed to attract and conglomerate particulates, allowing sub-micron sized contaminants to be easily captured. The polarizing effect delivers high-efficiency filtration with low static pressure. The combination of LED disinfecting arrays and anti-microbial coatings offer surface disinfection which reduces microbial growth, biological blow-off, airborne odors and VOCs while allowing for safer handling and servicing of the HVAC system and filter.
