of companies offering commercial nanoibers. It is evident that within a few years, nano-
ibrous media with unique features will be designed and created as a new-generation iltra-
tion media. However, the cost-effectiveness of these nanoibers versus the beneits must be
evaluated before their use. More fundamental research on this aspect has to be performed
to realize the full potential and may undoubtedly reveal more new attributes of its func-
tion as a ilter in years to come.
