Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is a form of carbon that's been processed to have small, low-volume pores, which increase its surface area for adsorption or chemical reactions. It's commonly derived from sources like wood, coconut shells, or peat and is often used in various applications due to its ability to trap toxins and chemicals. In the medical field, activated charcoal is sometimes used in emergency situations to treat certain types of poisoning or overdoses, as it can bind with toxins in the stomach before they're absorbed into the bloodstream
