EPA Grants New Notification to BioShield Technologies Inc. Expands the



RELATED SYMBOLS: (BSTI)

ATLANTA, Mar 21, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- BioShield
Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BSTI); (http://www.bioshield.com/ )
announced today that the EPA has granted a new Notification to its antimicrobial
line of products. This new Notification adds the use of BioShield's AM500, BSTI
1860 line of products to be utilized on exterior walls, including, but not
limited to, brick, concrete, stone, stucco, wood and aluminum siding surfaces.

This new Notification provides for a site use to be added to BioShield's
labeling. Being able to enter into these new markets adds significant
opportunity to BioShield, its clients and Global Licensee Partners by being able
to provide a viable solution for the treatment of mold & mildew in buildings,
monuments and governmental offices where this problem continues to be a big
health concern and a costly endeavor to resolve.

Management stated, "The application of BioShield's products on exterior surfaces
can benefit commercial real estate companies, governments, residential
developers and homeowners by providing a cost-effective, long lasting solution
to mitigate the damaging effects of mold and mildew. Currently the most commonly
used solution to removing mold and mildew is to spray the surface with toxic and
harmful chemicals that leach into the ground, water and streams creating an
environmental problem. In addition, other chemicals can possibly damage the
integrity of the exterior surface itself, creating a new problem. The other
alternative is to completely replace the surface in a costly and time-consuming
project. BioShield's technology molecularly bonds to these surfaces having a
lasting residual effect without leaching into the environment. We're very
excited about this new EPA Notification and the opportunities it opens up for
BioShield and our partners."
