The new protection level against gases and odors
micronAir Gas Shield activated carbon selection for automotive cabin air filters
micronAir Gas Shield is combating a real-world problem: Gaseous air pollution such as nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ammonia (NH₃), ozone (O₃) or aldehydes. People traveling in vehicles are particularly at risk from air pollution. In dense traffic, cars create a ‘tunnel’ effect, channelling high concentrations of polluted air directly into the vehicle. Severe respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) or asthma can be the result. micronAir Gas Shield, the activated carbon selection for automotive cabin air filters, reliably protect health and well-being.

Understanding the risks
Types and sources of gaseous air pollution
Gaseous air pollutants are generated by human actions such as burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, agriculture and waste treatment. They are also naturally produced by volcanic eruptions, air-borne dust, sea spray and emissions of volatile organic compounds from plants. Different regions of the world are characterized by different general patterns of pollution. This is why we have developed three distinct formulations to tackle varying types of pollution.
