These filters are sold to pot growers who are specifically trying to remove the pot smell (VOCs) from the air so that's the focus of their claims.
Maybe I am making an incorrect assumption, but aren't VOCs smaller particles than the "bad stuff" from wildfire smoke?
- hollerith 4y agoVOCs are individual molecules (in gaseous form) which of course are much smaller than wildfire-smoke particles and other forms particulate air pollution. The point is that activated-carbon filters do little to remove wildfire smoke from the air.
- wintermutestwin 4y agoThanks for pointing out the issue. I'll make covers out of Merv 13 Filter Material. Too bad I can't measure CFM to test for the reduction of flow...
