The canister also has outer and inner vertical cylindrical nets having diameters of 0.85-0.95 and 0.05-0.2 of body diameter correspondingly. Sorbent block is secured between the nets by varnish or mastic. The sorbent block has height of up to 10 mm and is divided into at least 8 segments. Number of segments is preferably more than 8. Side surfaces of even-numbered segments are covered with varnish or mastic to provide air impermeability thereof. Box bottom comprises double walls for aerosol filter fastening.
