An apparatus and a method are provided for a cabin air filter to remove airborne molecular contaminants and volatile organic compounds from a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The cabin air filter comprises a supportive frame configured to suitably orient the cabin air filter within a ventilation system of the vehicle. The supportive frame comprises a shape and size suitable for supporting the cabin air filter within the ventilation system. A filter medium is retained within the supportive frame and configured to remove the airborne molecular contaminants and volatile organic compounds from air flowing through the ventilation system. The filter medium electrostatically attracts and agglomerates contaminants within the air flowing through the air filter. In some embodiments, the filter medium comprises fibers treated with antimicrobial molecules configured to destroy microbes. In some embodiments, the filter medium comprises fibrous materials configured to release a fragrance into the passenger compartment.
