Fuente: WIPO "industrial hemp" The invention provides improved filtration materials and mediums accommodating to various filter types and designs. Materials/mediums include both “raw” cannabis (cannabinoids) as filter components such as but not limited to fibers, as well as altered materials (compounds) such as but not limited to sponges. These materials/mediums can be fashioned into any form, shape, density or design such as but not limited to inserts for faucet attachments, mechanical oil filters, or home AC filters. A primary feature of cannabis in use as filtration material is the anti-bacterial/-microbial properties. Trace cannabinoids found in all cannabis remain chemically active through material processing, providing a surficial efficacy as high as 99% with regard to sanitizing effects. Specifically as liquids, gases or solids come in contact with these materials/mediums they will be “sanitized” while the materials/mediums also capture particulates, compared to UV or chlorine treatment—neither of which removes particulates.
