Major air pollutants in Parking Spaces
Several harmful air pollutants can be released in enclosed parking areas. They include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10). All of them pose a risk to health.
PM2.5 & PM10
Underground parking with poor airflow sees higher PM levels, since the dust cannot disperse.
CO
Vehicle exhaust is one source of CO, with gasoline-run tools and generators adding more.
VOC
Sources include gasoline and diesel exhaust, plus building materials, cleaning agents, and more.
SOx
Burning gasoline and other fuels in vehicles releases many toxins, and SOx is one of them.
NOx
Combustion at high temperatures, like fuel burning inside a running engine, can give off NOx.
VOCs
Cars give off VOCs, and these can help form ozone at ground level.
SOx
Moving to alternative fuels can lower SOx emissions.
NOx
Driving habits count: skip the hard acceleration and keep a steady speed to cut NOx emissions.
PM2.5 & PM10
Underground parking without fresh airflow lets fine dust linger, so PM levels then rise.
CO
CO builds up from exhaust fumes in enclosed spaces, and gasoline-driven tools and generators add more.
Health Effects
Exhaust from cars, along with dust and debris from unpaved surfaces, makes parking lots a source of air pollution. That pollution affects the health and well-being of nearby communities.

Air quality Solutions
Prana Air's air quality monitoring and air cleaning tools help you build green spaces, better airflow, eco-friendly materials, and greener transportation. Together they can cut air pollution in urban areas. They also improve health and promote a greener future.
Easy Data Accessibility
Accurate parking lot air quality data should be easy to reach. It helps stakeholders make better choices that limit harm to public health and to the world around us. It also promotes greener city growth.
Air monitors are set up at several spots in the parking lot
Monitors are linked up through Wifi/GSM/RS-485
All data is kept in AQI Cloud Storage.
Access the data remotely through AQI mobile, tablet, and web-dashboard apps.

AQI Mobile AppFrequently Asked Questions
Air quality solutions for parking lots - any questions? We would be happy to help.
- When air quality in a parking lot is poor, drivers, pedestrians, and nearby residents can suffer health effects. It can also add to environmental pollution and climate change.
- In parking lots, the most common source of air pollution is vehicle exhaust fumes. Dust and particulate matter from tires and brakes come next.
- Poor air quality in a parking lot can trigger breathing problems, sore eyes, headaches, and other health issues. Breathing it in for years may also raise the risk of cancer and other chronic illnesses.
- To improve air quality in a parking lot, promote the use of low-emission vehicles. Add green infrastructure such as trees and plants. Monitor air quality on an ongoing basis, install air filtration systems, and improve the overall ventilation.
- For a parking lot, air quality monitoring tools can include sensor-based systems like the Prana Air monitors. Real-time data analytics and AQI mobile apps then send air quality updates to the users.
- Researchers can use parking lot air quality data to study the effects of air pollution on human health and the environment. The data can also inform public policy and air quality regulations.
