Other Hazards

 
 

**Due to their relatively small particle size, gaseous pollutants are extremely difficult to remove from indoor air.  The most common types of absorption filters - activated carbon (charcoal filters) or aluminum oxide (alumina), remove only a limited amount of pollutant gases. Once fully absorbed, the filter can even re-release gases back into the air.  Larger absorption type filters are generally more effective but less practical except in extreme cases where an individual is overly sensitive.  Eliminating the source of the pollutant and use of a balanced ventilation system are the two most effective ways to deal with indoor gas pollutants.
