CDC Data shows that air purifiers help reduce COVID-19 transmission.<\/h3>\n

HEPA filter air purifiers like Smart Air’s have been shown to filter out COVID-19 viruses, and lower transmission.\u00a0<\/span>See the data and learn how to protect yourself now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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\u00a0<\/span>volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/a>. VOCs include harmful gases like\u00a0<\/span>formaldehyde<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and benzene, and can cause cancer, throat irritation, dizziness, and other not-fun side effects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/colgroup>\n\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 carbon can have between 500 to 1500m\u00b2 of surface area!<\/p>\n

This\u00a0<\/span>massive surface area<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>allows the carbon granules to trap many harmful gas molecules, giving you that fresh odourless and chemical-free air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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

Troubled by odours or smoke in your office or hospitals? Get the Blast Mini Carbon Filter to effectively remove harmful chemicals and odours.<\/p>\n

HEPAs are great at capturing particles, but we\u2019ll need a carbon filter if we want to capture gas pollutants. Carbon has been\u00a0<\/span>proven to reduce gas pollutants<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>including benzene, formaldehyde, VOCs, ozone and odours.<\/p>\n

Just like the Blast, the Blast Mini carbon filter screen slots into the HEPA frame and sits between the fan and the HEPA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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