The first use of activated carbon for water treatment dates back to more than 2000 years ago when the product was used in char form. Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) became commercialized during the 20th century for water treatment to remove taste and odor contaminants. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) came into use after World War II.
