Will an activated carbon filter working in conjuction with a HEPA filter successfully pull pesticides from air
I have neighbors that excessively use pesticides on their lawn. Being concerned that some of these poisons might be permeated into my home, I purchased the 5000 series Vocarb from AllerAir to set in my bedroom. It has..
Filtration System: Vocarb Carbon, Micro HEPA, Prodense Pre-filter
Carbon Filter: 18 lbs Vocarb, 2.5" Depth
The page for it can be found here.

Will this filter suck all of the pesticides out of the indoor air, or is even it not enough?
Might I have an actually knowledgeable answer, from someone?
That should be sufficient for airborne particles. Pesticides are more of a problem for groundwater. If you want to feel your whole house is protected, it is possible to buy HEPA furnace filters. They cost upwards of $20 each in USA instead of only $1.
SOME OF THEM NOT ALL
