Air Filtration

Steam - 11-4-2014 at 11:43

I currently live in the country where my closet neighbor is about 1 mile away, but there is a possibility I might be moving closer to civilization. Right now I vent my fumehood directly outside where the wind takes it, but if I am going to be moving I am going to have to find some way to filter the fume hood vent to remove all the smells. If it helps, the main smells that I will be dealing with are acid fumes, amines, H2S, various chlorinated organics, various organic solvents, esters, and probably the wonderful smell of ammonia.
Does anybody have experience with constructing an air filter which will be able to remove the smells of these compounds?

Activated charcoal should be very effective.
