No. The Dyson filter is not equipped to destroy particles of nanometers in size. Units for that purpose are quite expensive and normally limited to industrial and/or academic laboratories working with bacterial and viral cultures. The formaldehyde destruction property of the unit is a specialized filter designed to capture that particular molecule from the environment. Formaldehyde, with the chemical makeup of CH20, and a weight of 16 g/mol is designed to be captured by the unit with a special filter which is not designed to capture viruses or bacteria.
