Blast Mini Activated Carbon Filter<\/strong><\/h1>\nCleaner air in your home and office<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nWhat is an activated carbon filter?<\/strong><\/h2>\nHEPA filters capture particles like small PM2.5 particles. Activated carbon or charcoal, 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<\/div>\n

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 fresh odourless and chemical-free air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBlast Mini Carbon Filter Eliminates Smoke and Odours<\/strong><\/h2>\nThailand’s haze can be detrimental to your health, especially if you have respiratory symptoms like asthma. Get the Blast Carbon Filter to effectively remove 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
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

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nDoes everyone need a carbon filter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\nNot 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
\n- with recent home renovation or repainting<\/li>\n
- with smoke or other offensive odors<\/li>\n
- near a source of gas pollution like a factory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you have inflammation or asthma symptoms, you may also consider using a carbon filter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Purifier companies have a financial incentive to convince people to buy carbon filters. They make more money if they can scare people into buying carbon. We won\u2019t do that. Check the facts and data first<\/a> before spending your money.
\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nDoes activated carbon really work?<\/strong><\/h2>\nTo answer this question, we ran tests with an Industrial Scientific MX6 iBrid gas detector that can detect VOCs and many other harmful gases. In an enclosed porch, we lit three cigarettes (known to emit formaldehyde and benzene), turned on a Cannon fan with a carbon filter, and tracked VOC concentration. We also ran a control test of a fan with no carbon attached.<\/p>\n
The blue line shows how the carbon layer effectively reduced VOC concentrations.<\/p>\n
