Abstract
A fluid contaminant collection system is provided where a filter passively interacts with the fluid to remove contaminants from the fluid. The system includes a wall defining at least a portion of a chamber or passageway. Located within the chamber or passageway is the filter. The filter includes a contaminant removal portion and is located within the chamber or housing to interact with the fluid. During interaction between the fluid and the filter, the fluid passes or washes over the filter and contaminants are removed by the contaminant removal portion from the fluid.
