1. A fluid filtration security system for decontaminating or treating air in an environment, comprising:
a fluid handler having a housing having at least one filter receiving area for receiving at least one filter, said fluid handler having a fluid handler identification code associated therewith and said at least one filter having at least one filter identification code associated therewith, said fluid handler having a blower that causes air flow in said fluid handler in order to treat the air to facilitate reducing or eliminating airborne contaminants, bacteria or pathogens in the air as it passes through said fluid handler; and
a fluid treatment processor for generating at least one pairing identification code in response to said fluid handler identification code and said at least one filter identification code;
wherein said fluid treatment processor controls an operation of said fluid handler and at least one of logs a filter effectiveness associated with said at least one filter, prevents a re-usage of said at least one filter if said at least one filter fails at least one predetermined filter usage criteria, or prevents use of said at least one filter if a usage time of said at least one filter exceeds a predetermined usage time or if said fluid handler identification code of said at least one pairing identification code does not match said fluid handler identification code for said fluid handler;
wherein said environment comprises at least one indoor room, said blower in said fluid handler causing at least some contaminated air in said environment to enter into said fluid handler in order to treat said contaminated air;
wherein at least a portion of said contaminated air passes through said at least one filter so that said at least one filter may collect at least some of said contamination when said fluid handler is active and so that said fluid handler may deliver the decontaminated or treated air into said environment.
