According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH), indoor air typically contains two to five times higher concentrations of pollutants than outdoor air, including dust, pollen, pet dander, viruses, bacteria, mold , and even second-hand smoke and chemical gases. In addition, with the "stay-at-home economy" of modern people and the popularization of electronic equipment, ionizing radiation and harmful substances produced by electronic equipment and human activities have also become the main source of indoor air pollution.
Therefore, in addition to simple measures such as opening windows for ventilation, more and more people have begun to use air purifiers to improve indoor air quality. However, many people do not know that the filters in air purifiers need to be replaced regularly, especially the activated carbon filter.
Activated carbon filter is a filter commonly used in air purifiers. It is mainly used to remove gaseous pollutants such as odor and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Activated carbon is usually made of charcoal, coal, grapefruit shells and other materials. The surface has a large number of small pores, which play a very good role in the process of adsorbing gaseous pollutants. However, as time goes by, the filter screen will gradually become saturated, the adsorption capacity will gradually decrease, and it will lose the ability to remove odors and purify the air. At this time, the activated carbon filter screen needs to
