Getting rid of the VOC source, if possible, is much easier than trying to filter it.

> Those 2-in-1 filters do exist but cost more. And many are scams because they don't have enough volume of activated carbon.

Any filter with a little bit of carbon added is going to be useless after a few days, or maybe even hours.

The only VOC filters that work have multiple pounds of carbon, with the good filters having upwards of 10-20 pounds. It also has to be replaced regularly.

I was referring to the gases from the cars on the highway more than easily removed indoor sources.
