What does activated carbon do?
Activated carbon is combined with zeolite, which absorbs ions and molecules and acts as a filter for odor control and toxin removal. These home air purifiers are particularly helpful to people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), because they absorb formaldehyde, which is found in carpet, wood paneling and furniture upholstery. Perfumes, as well as chemicals in household cleaning items are also removed, making the environment more breathable for everyone, especially those suffering from asthma or allergies.
