  • Publication number: 20180250430
    Abstract: An odor detection and filtration device is provided including a housing enclosing a void and having and air inlet and air outlet. The void contains, and the housing encloses, one or more sensors, one or more filters, one or more fans, and a control unit. The control unit may be in electrical communication with the one or more sensors and one or more fans. The control unit may activate the one or more fans upon the one or more sensors detecting the presence of one or more odors in the ambient air surrounding the device. The one or more fans draw ambient air through the air inlet into the void and subsequently downstream through the filter and out the device through the air outlet.
