| How does active carbon filters work? |
| (1/1) |

I wonder how the active carbon filters found in respirators work. How are they built/designed to filter air while allowing air to pass through? Are the carbon particles suspended in a membrane? Or are the carbon particles packed into a tube that air flows through? Thanks |
