How does an Activated Carbon Filter work?
Used in both air and water filters, activated carbon is simply charcoal that has been treated with oxygen in order to open up millions of tiny microscopic pores between the carbon atoms. As a result, the oxygenated carbon becomes extremely absorbent and is capable of filtering out even the tiniest odorous, gaseous and liquid contaminates. For example, activated charcoal is by far the most effective filter against cigarette smoke and is effective against everything from paint fumes and toilet odors to poison gases and pet smells.
