Here’s what ChatGPT says.
Summary:

According to definitions established by Environment and Climate Change Canada (CEPA 1999), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the EU’s REACH framework, a pollutant is a substance that degrades the environment, persists or bioaccumulates, or is discharged in a manner harmful to human or ecological health. ZenGUARD™ — a graphene-oxide-based antimicrobial coating developed by Zentek Ltd. — does not meet these criteria. It is a surface-bound nanomaterial, not released into the environment, and is not listed or regulated as a pollutant or toxic substance under any of these frameworks. There is no evidence of PFAS or other persistent contaminants in its formulation.

Technical Statement:

Under the regulatory frameworks of Canada’s CEPA (1999), the U.S. EPA, and the European Union’s REACH/CLP, a pollutant is defined as a substance that is discharged or introduced into the environment in a manner that is toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative, or otherwise deleterious to human health or ecosystems. The ZenGUARD™ coating, a graphene-oxide-based antimicrobial material developed by Zentek Ltd., does not meet these criteria. The coating is surface-bound to masks and HVAC filters, is not intentionally released into the environment, and is absent from listings of regulated toxic or persistent substances, including PFAS and other fluorinated compounds. Accordingly, ZenGUARD™ is not classified as a pollutant under CEPA, TSCA, or REACH regulations, and its use aligns with current environmental safety standards for engineered nanomaterials.
