Why does carbon attract solder smoke?

Asked by warpling (849points) December 28th, 2008

I was told in grade school that solder smoke seems hard to escape because it’s actually attracted to carbon. Solder fume extractors usually have some sort of carbon filter to pull out the toxins I assume, but how does this work!?
