Key Takeaways

Activated carbon can adsorb ammonia. Performance depends on carbon properties and conditions such as moisture.

Activated carbon is used for gas-phase adsorption in many settings. That includes sulfur-containing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.

EPA guidance describes activated carbon as one option for certain indoor gases. That does not mean every product works the same way in every home.

Pet health concerns should be discussed with your veterinarian. That matters most when a household includes sensitive cats or respiratory concerns.
