• Source: EPA – Indoor Air Quality

• Our insight: Indoor air traps far more contaminants than most people realize—especially in tightly sealed homes.
  
  

VOCs and Odors

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can reach 10× higher concentrations indoors.

• Source: NIH/NLM – VOC Exposure Overview

• Our insight: We design our carbon filters to capture these gases at the molecular level—because masking odors isn’t enough.
  
  

Proven Carbon Filtration Performance

• Activated carbon adsorbers remove up to 95–99% of VOCs when properly designed and maintained.

• Source: ASHRAE Journal

• Our insight: Filterbuy filters meet these standards, verified through real-world home testing.
  
  

Lingering Indoor Odors

• After smoke or odor events, VOCs can linger 1–21 hours, depending on airflow.

• Our insight: Homes using our carbon filters recover fresher air faster—especially after cooking, smoke, or pet odors.
  
  

Key Takeaway:
Activated carbon filters don’t just improve air—they remove invisible pollutants standard filters can’t. Every Filterbuy carbon filter is U.S.-made, lab-tested, and real-home proven for fast, reliable odor removal.
