Camfil Air Quality Experts in Livonia Michigan Explain Molecular Filters

Learn how a molecular air filter works.

Molecular filters remove gaseous pollutants from the air. In a published resource, air quality experts in Livonia - Camfil USA discussed how these filters work and the type of gaseous pollutants they can capture.

They explained, "Molecular air filtration uses specialized media like activated carbon to remove gaseous pollutants from the airstream."

They shared that this process is sometimes called gas-phase filtration.

According to air quality experts in Livonia, the activated carbon in molecular air filters is very adsorbent.

"Activated carbon is extremely adsorbent, causing gaseous particles to bond to the media's surface as air flows through," they wrote.

With molecular air filters, harmful pollutants are adsorbed into the filter media, effectively removing them from the environment.

Air quality experts in Livonia further added, "Molecular filters capture pollutants that exist in a gaseous state at room temperature and are far too small to be captured by even the most efficient HEPA and ULPA filters."

Nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur oxides, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are among the top gaseous pollutants molecular air filters can capture.

Molecular air filters are often used in spaces exposed to gaseous air pollutants requiring strict air quality control, such as hospitals, laboratories, and industrial facilities.
