A contamination control system for cathode intake air for fuel cell systems, particularly PEM fuel cell systems. The contamination control system incorporates three portions, particulate control, chemical contaminant control, and sound suppression or attenuation of the noise emitted by air handling equipment such as compressors, blowers, fans and expanders. At least one of these portions is designed and installed in the fuel cell system with the intent of lasting the life of the system. In a preferred system, a z-filter configured for straight-through flow is permanently installed in an automobile.
