Farts are an everyday part of life, but woe to you if you stumble upon an elevator with someone letting loose a silent but deadly kind – better to have one which is obnoxiously loud, and yet does not smell.

Since activated carbon or charcoal is not suitable, a new ceramic material was chosen, where it contained countless tiny pores and was a whole lot stronger – being able to hold up to plenty of wear and washing.
