Does activated carbon only absorb organic molecules on its surface? !

An expert told me this. Are the experts right?
The micropores of activated carbon should also be able to adsorb.
My personal understanding: Activated carbon preferentially undergoes surface adsorption; once the surface is saturated, no more substances can be adsorbed.
You’re so skilled that you’ve already reached a conclusion – what’s there to discuss anymore?
The micropores inside activated carbon, strictly speaking, all belong to the surface. Just like a sponge, the hollow spaces inside can also be considered surfaces. In fact, when viewed in detail, the structure of activated carbon resembles that of a sponge.
