Activated carbon
for eliminating unwanted smells.
Why does activated carbon mean so much to us?
here we go...
What is a carbon filter?
Made of activated carbon, these filters trap odors and contaminants through adsorption. Carbon in these types of filters undergoes a heat or chemical treatment to become extremely porous. This increased porosity allows it to better absorb odor-causing molecules in the air.
Essentially, activated carbon works like a magnet for smells and particles, with its tiny pores providing a huge surface area to trap contaminants. This helps to effectively reduce odors and airborne particles, keeping your air fresher and cleaner.
How Can an Activated Carbon Filter Help You Breathe Easier?
By trapping and neutralizing odors and harmful gases (VOCs) through adsorption, where contaminants stick to the carbon's large surface area, our filters effectively reduce unpleasant smells from pets, cooking, and mildew. This process improves overall air quality, making your environment more comfortable and healthier to breathe. Whether you run it in the background all day or in short bursts when needed, getting rid of VOCs is good for your health, and eliminating stink is great for your nose.
Understanding VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals commonly found in household products. These compounds can have adverse health effects, especially when present in higher concentrations indoors. Carbon traps these compounds as they pass through the filter effectively reducing their concentration in the air
Health Risks:
Exposure to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) can cause symptoms like irritation, headaches, and dizziness, and some VOCs are highly toxic. While our filters shouldn't replace proper safety equipment when dealing with these chemicals, they're excellent for handling common household VOCs. These filters help reduce everyday pollutants, making your home environment safer and more comfortable.
Common Sources of VOCs:
- Paints and varnishes
- Cleaning agents
- Aerosol sprays
- Perfumes and air fresheners
