Replacement Carbon Air Filters: Can They Increase Allergies & Illness?

Quality air cleaners usually include both HEPA and carbon filters, with activated carbon to remove chemicals, vapors & other gas-based pollutants from paints, copiers, chemical storage, cleaning products, solvents, etc. The carbon or charcoal granules are usually activated by a chemical process that makes the chemical pollutants become attracted or ‘stuck’ to them, which is how these pollutants are removed from the air. These carbon granules or pieces do become saturated, however, to where the chemicals do not ‘stick’ to them anymore. And that means the air is blowing through the air purifier or filtration system without the chemical or gas pollutants being removed.
 
And that means that these chemical pollutants are now being circulated more than they would if the air purifier was not in use—so, the answer is yes: if you don’t replace the carbon filters in your air purifier or carbon air filtration system, you’re actually breathing more polluted air, which increases allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems.
 
A lot of home and business owners are realizing that carbon filters are only helpful when they are still able to absorb pollutants. And that goes for premium replacement charcoal filters, cheap carbon air filters, even military-grade carbon or charcoal—carbon is carbon and it all becomes saturated over time with the pollutants it’s trying to remove.
 
So, if you are trying to control allergies, or reduce respiratory issues, the best way to maintain excellent indoor air quality—and reduce allergies and illness—is to make sure that you replace the carbon filters in your air cleaner on time, as specified by the manufacturer. And don’t buy aftermarket or cheap carbon filters as they won’t work as well and may void the warranty on your air purifier or filtration system. Yes, the manufacturer’s replacement carbon air purifier filters might be at a little bit of a premium price, but this is the only way to make sure to get the best chemical & odor removal, and allergy control, from your carbon filters.
 
Speaking of odors, a good way to detect when a carbon or charcoal filter may need to be changed is when you have odors and it doesn’t seem like the air cleaner is removing the odor very well. If you notice odors aren’t going away, and it’s before they due date for replacing the carbon air filter, go ahead and replace it because the carbon is probably saturated and soon you’ll be breathing more polluted air and experiencing higher allergies, as we stated above.
