Submarines and space-craft are completely unventilated spaces. They recycle a volume of "cabin" air through sophisticated air-cleaners which "deep clean" indoor air, allowing it to be used over and over again. Room air-cleaners make indoor air clean and attractive and have been available since the early 1950's. What do these successful filtering systems have in common?  

Adsorption, trapping molecules, is a process quite different from straining air - that is, forcing air through holes slightly smaller than airborne particles. Adsorption is a condensation process which stops tiny, unstrainable air pollution molecules, 10,000 times smaller than the smallest filterable particles.

A good example of adsorption is moisture in air (many individual H₂O molecules in gas form) condensing into liquid water on a cold window. Similarly, odors and chemical irritant molecules are "sponged" from passing air as they condense on the vast surfaces of an adsorbent.

Without a good adsorbent in the air stream, we cannot hope to create the clean, attractive air people desire and need. With the advent of Carbonized Basal Planes (CBP), a highly-efficient adsorbent, only a pinch is required to improve the quality of the air we breathe.
