Experiments were conducted to compare the efficacy of six commonly available charcoals in adsorbing halothane in a paediatric T-piece system. Tests were also done to compare the effect of mass of charcoal and canister shape and size on adsorption and airways resistance. It was found that charcoals vary in their adsorptive capacity and that the size and shape of cannisters is important.
