From the page: "Today's usual activated carbons are made from coal, peat, coconut shells, and wood, says Marshall. Working like charcoal "sponges," they adsorb from the air or water many types of organic compoundsâ€"like benzene, toluene, and acetonitrile, as well as metals such as lead.

(K8326-5) Carbon uses run the gamut: from fish tank filters and tap water purifiers to wastewater treatment and air pollution monitoring and control."
