Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that utilizes a bed of activated carbon to remove impurities from a fluid through adsorption. Activated carbon is often used in filters due to its large surface area, which has been treated to be much larger than untreated carbon.

The uses of a carbon filter in the home are vast, from eliminating odorous gases and keeping the air clean and healthy, to improving the growing environment for plants and eliminating kitchen odors, pet odors, and fumes from various hobbies. In the case of carbon filters, VOCs and odor-causing molecules attach to activated carbon molecules.
