Absolutely. That would definitely do the trick provided the fan is forcing air through the canister (and not around it), the carbon blend is good for VOC adsorption, and a sufficient dwell time is achieved. Many of the grow filters on the market are great for this. There are also specialty purifiers with large carbon canisters as well (on the order of 20-50 pounds), some of which have oxidizers added as well to cover certain pollutants that carbon alone cannot remove. (I am a bit of an air purifier geek.)
