Activated carbon is the only safe, cost effective way to trap noxious gases and odors. Activated carbon is carbon that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms. There are so many of these that one pound of activated carbon has a surface area of 60 to 150 acres. Activated carbon is the substance that keeps military personnel safe from poisonous gases. It is also used for water filtration.

How Activated Carbon Works

An activated carbon filter acts rather like a sponge. When it is full it can adsorb no more. The more carbon you have the more you can adsorb before changing the filter. AllerAir MAC-B carbon filters have from 7 to 48 lbs and will last from 9 to 24 months. Most off the shelf cleaners have only a few token ounces of carbon sprayed on a mesh. It's not enough to have any useful long term effect.

UV light

The UV models feature a UV lamp, which destroys airborne micro-organisms. As the antigens and pathogens pass over the lamp, it emits ultraviolet waves, which alter their DNA. This feature is ideal for sterile environments, such as laboratories, child care facilities, medical facilities, and kitchens.
