Abstract: A filtering device is provided for filtering pollutants from a gas stream. The device includes a cartridge comprising an inner perforated passage, an outer perforated jacket, one or more non-perforated ends and a sorbent bed contained between the inner passage and the outer jacket; and a outer shell containing the cartridge and having a first port in fluid communication with the inner perforated passage and a second port in fluid communication with the outer perforated jacket. A flowpath of the gas stream into any one of the first port or the second port, through the sorbent bed and out of the other of the first port or the second port is a bidirectional flowpath. A method is further provided for filtering pollutants from a gas stream.
