The present invention relates to the use of palladium doped ZSM-5 to adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) derived from organic matter, wherein the Si:Al ratio of the ZSM-5 is less than 5 or equal to 100:1, and wherein the palladium doped ZSM-5 is used in an environment comprising less than 10 vol % of oxygen.
