Claim:
1. A formulation for electrostatically inhibiting inhalation of fine and ultra-fine particulate matter by a person, wherein said inhibiting occurs upon application of said formulation to the person's face between the upper lip and nasal passages, said formulation containing ingredients comprising: a) a chloride based quaternary long chain-polymer that creates an electrostatic field; b) a thickening agent; and c) a plasticizing agent, wherein after application of said formulation to the person's face between the upper lip and nasal passages, i) the formulation forms a stationary film that adheres to the person's face where applied; ii) the electrostatic field has sufficient strength to repel similarly charged fine and ultra-fine particulate matter; iii) the electrostatic field has sufficient strength to attract oppositely charged fine and ultra-fine particulate matter,
