Question from Elizabeth
Hi Debra,
I have been reading a lot about Bamboo Charcoal “air fresheners” lately.
The products supposedly remove odors, moisture, viruses, VOCs,etc.
A 200 gram bag is supposed to be good for a 90 square foot area.
I am interested however I am not clear as to how a linen bag of charcoal is supposed to clean the air in a room just by placed in the room. I don’t see how the product would have the appropriate air circulation to meet it’s claims.
Do you have any experience or information on these products?
Debra’s Answer
I don’t have any experience with these products, however, there is just no way mechanically that a bag of any kind of charcoal can remove pollutants in the air anywhere close to what an air purifier can remove.
For real all filtration, see the Air Purifier page of Debra’s List.
