Environmental Impact
The two most widely known types of activated carbon are granular and powdered. Activated carbon is an adsorbent used to purify air, water, and wastewater. Activated carbon is considered spent when it is fully adsorbed with contaminants, which may contain toxins that can irritate the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes.

Financial Impact
Companies can reduce or eliminate the cost of handling and disposal of spent carbon through environmentally friendly practices such as regeneration, which reduces the amount of new carbon that must be purchased.

Legal Responsibilities
Companies or individuals who violate state and federal regulation regarding spent carbon management are subject to increasing stringent consequences. For more information about federal policy on waste management click here.
