What is an activated carbon filter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

HEPA filters capture particles like small PM2.5 particles. Activated carbon, on the other hand, captures odours and gases like volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/a>. VOCs include harmful gases like formaldehyde<\/a> and benzene, and can cause cancer, throat irritation, dizziness, and other not-fun side effects.<\/p>\n

Pair your HEPA with a carbon filter for cleaner air in your bedroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does activated charcoal work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The carbon filter mesh consists of many carbon granules that have been treated to become extremely porous. This means that they have huge surface areas. In fact, just one gram of activated charcoal can have between 500 to 1500m\u00b2 of surface area!<\/p>\n

This massive surface area<\/strong><\/span> allows the carbon granules to trap many harmful gas molecules, giving you that cleaner odourless and chemical-free air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sqair Carbon Filter Eliminates Smoke and Odours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Does your bedroom or home have odours or second-hand smoke? Get the Sqair Carbon Filter to effectively remove the harmful chemicals and odours.<\/p>\n

HEPAs are great at capturing particles, but we’ll need a carbon filter if we want to capture gas pollutants.<\/p>\n

The Sqair carbon filter screen is inserted below the HEPA filter, capturing dust and lint, hence allowing the HEPA to last longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Does everyone need a carbon filter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not necessarily. Not all homes have dangerous levels of harmful gases or VOCs that would call for a carbon filter. VOCs are more common in homes:<\/p>\n
