Blast Mini Activated Carbon Filter

Clean air in your home and office

What is an activated carbon filter?

HEPA filters capture particles like small PM2.5 particles. Activated carbon or charcoal, on the other hand, captures odors and gases like volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs include harmful gases like formaldehyde and benzene, and can cause cancer, throat irritation, dizziness, and other not-fun side effects.

VOCs

Formaldehyde

Paint odor

Smoke

How does activated charcoal work?

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 1500m² of surface area!

This massive surface area allows the carbon granules to trap many harmful gas molecules, giving you that fresh odorless and chemical-free air.

Does your home or office have odors? Get the Blast Mini Carbon Filter to effectively remove the harmful chemicals and odors.

HEPAs are great at capturing particles, but we’ll need a carbon filter if we want to capture gas pollutants.

Just like the Blast, the Blast Mini carbon filter screen slots into the HEPA frame and sits between the fan and the HEPA.

Does everyone need a carbon filter?

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:

with recent home renovation or repainting
with smoke or other offensive odors
near a source of gas pollution like a factory

If you have inflammation or asthma symptoms, you may also consider using a carbon filter.

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’t do that. check the fact and data first before spending your money.
