Moisture, food smells, cigarette smoke and awkward human or pet odors from everyday activities can accumulate to uncomfortable levels throughout public facilities. Motor vehicles operating in closed garages, air intake grills along side loading docks, main traffic streets or bus stops can draw air into buildings laden with exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and volatile hydro-carbons) as well as garbage odors. Activated carbon, as well as several other compounds, is widely recognized as an effective method of removing and preventing odor/fume buildup in recirculated air.
