I cannot find the answer on Google, so I will try The Lounge’s Wisdom 
I have a kitchen hood without an exhaust duct. The air is 100% recirculated, so it has a couple of activated charcoal (aka active carbon) filters to absorb smells.
A new filter cost around $50. It is just a plastic grid with few carbon balls inside! so I’m thinking about replacing only the carbon.
The only activated charcoal that I can find is either for cosmetics/health (expensive), or for fish tanks and water filters (cheap).
My question is: can I use the cheap fish-tank activated charcoal at the kitchen hood filter?
Charcoal is charcoal, but I don’t know if it receives an specific activation treatment for smell absorption in kitchen hood filters.
