Activated carbon (AC) filters have been used in home water purification systems primarily to remove taste and odor. Taste and odor, although undesirable, are generally not considered unhealthy. Activated carbon is most effective at removing organic compounds such as volatile organic compounds, pesticides and benzene. It can also remove some metals, chlorine and radon.
Many organic compounds, such as chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents, gasoline, pesticides and trihalomethanes can be adsorbed by Activated carbon. Activated carbon is effective in removing chlorine and moderately effective in removing some heavy metals. AC will also remove metals that are bound to organic molecules. Fluoride, chloride, nitrate, hardness (calcium and magnesium) and most metal ions are not removed by Activated carbon to any significant degree.
