Adsorption mat At their request, interested parties were sent a kit containing an adsorption mat and assembly directions. The mat was supposed to be exposed to the air in the apartment for five years. Substances suspended in the air, such as dust, organic particles, microorganisms and synthetic fibers could accumulate. "Colonization" took place. After five years was up, the participants received a transparent slipcase with which the process of adsorption could be curtailed. The "Settlement" got its own preservation area. Over 100 mats were sent out; the number of installations implemented is unknown. ADSORPTION: The accumulation of gases, loose material or solid particles in suspension on a suitable surface material. (Lat. ad: "to " + sorbere: "to drink in, suck")
