About Activated Carbon Air Filtration
Research Studies and Facts
Activated carbon air filters are the most
effective type of filter against chemicals, gases,
cigarette smoke and other odors.
How Activated Carbon Air
Filters Work
 Activated carbon air filters consist
of a vast system of pores of molecular size. These pores are highly
adsorbent, forming a strong chemical bond/attraction to odorous,
gaseous, and liquid contaminates.
Activated Carbon Air Filter
Facts
-
Activated carbon
air filters trap odors and chemicals in highly absorbent
granules (or pores), which look like a hard scrub brush.
-
Activated carbon
is a charcoal that is treated with oxygen in order to open up
millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms, resulting in a
highly adsorbent material.
Activated Carbon
is effective at removing the following types of chemicals:
