description Air pollution is an increasing concern all over the world due to its adverse effects on human health. It claims thousands of lives every year. Hence, the demand for the ventilator, respirator, facemask, body protection, and hospital air filtration has been surging dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nanofiber membranes with optimal characteristics, such as a high specific surface area and porous microstructure with interconnected pores, can efficiently capture the fine particles (such as bacteria, fungi, virus, etc.). Recently, various types of polymers have been fabricated as electrospun fibrous membranes to be used as an anti-bacterial or anti-viral air filtration media. This review presents a brief overview of air filtration history and its main mechanisms and then the latest research about air filtration with antibacterial and antiviral properties will be reviewed.
