“Breathe in calm, breathe out the noise.”
Various contaminants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), smoke, chemical fumes, and odors, are effectively captured by the activated charcoal. These pollutants adhere to the surface of the charcoal granules or particles.
Activated charcoal has a highly porous structure with a large surface area. When air passes through the charcoal, pollutants, gases, and odors are trapped in these pores. Unlike absorption, where a substance is taken in and distributed throughout another material, adsorption involves the adherence of molecules to the surface of the charcoal.
