What does activated carbon do?+
Its porous surface adsorbs gas molecules — cooking odours, smoke, solvent vapours and VOCs — that pass straight through HEPA.
Why do odours come back after some months?+
Carbon saturates. Once its pores are full it stops adsorbing, which is one reason the cartridge is replaced on schedule.
Can I reactivate carbon in sunlight?+
Not meaningfully. Home methods don't restore the pore structure; replace the cartridge instead.
Does carbon remove carbon monoxide?+
No. No home purifier reliably removes CO — use a CO alarm and ventilation.
