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

HEPA 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<\/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 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

Blast Mini carbon filter eliminates chemicals and odours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Troubled by odours or smoke smells in your office or hospitals? Get the Blast Mini 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 Blast Mini is simple and easy to use. 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
