System and method for substance removal

In variants, an air treatment module can include a sorption module defining a sorption cavity, an air intake channel, an air exhaust channel, and a target substance exhaust channel. The air treatment module can include a sorbent encapsulated within a sorbent structure (e.g., microencapsulated carbon sorbent) which can sorb carbon dioxide from air passing through the sorption cavity. The air treatment module can desorb carbon dioxide from the air and store the carbon dioxide in long term storage.
