Activated carbon can be used not only for medical purposes, but also for household purposes.
It was first synthesized by organic chemist Nikolai Zelinsky in 1915 as a chemical defense agent in gas masks.
Later, activated carbon began to be used in medicine, and then resourceful housewives began to buy it to solve a number of household problems.
Plant protection from fungus
If the top layer of soil is covered with mold, it is time to save the houseplant. The soil on the surface is removed, and then the soil is sprinkled with crushed coal. If you bury a couple of tablets in the pot, they will protect the roots from rot.
Fighting unpleasant odors
If an unpleasant smell appears in a room, cabinet or refrigerator, activated carbon will help. It is enough to place several tablets and put them inside the refrigerator or cabinet. If we are talking about the whole room, then you will have to spread the carbon in different corners.
Cleaning of plumbing
Several tablets of charcoal are crushed, mixed with water and applied to the surface of the plumbing fixture, and then plaque and other contaminants are removed with a brush.
