Major air pollutants in Parking Spaces
Enclosed car parking areas may emit various air pollutants. The list includes carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10). Each of these is harmful to human health.
PM2.5 & PM10
PM levels rise in poorly ventilated basement parking, as the trapped dust cannot spread out.
CO
Vehicle exhaust fumes are one source, with petrol-powered tools and generators on site adding more.
VOC
Petrol and diesel exhaust, together with emissions from building materials, cleaning agents, etc.
SOx
Emissions from petrol and other fuels used in vehicles may release various toxins, including SOx.
NOx
Burning fuel at a high temperature, as when an engine is running, may give off NOx.
VOCs
VOCs emitted by vehicles may contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone.
SOx
Shifting to alternative fuels may help reduce SOx emissions.
NOx
Driving habits help here: avoid sudden acceleration and hold a steady speed to cut NOx emissions.
PM2.5 & PM10
Basement car parking with poor ventilation traps fine dust, so PM readings then climb higher.
CO
Vehicle exhaust is a common source of CO indoors, and petrol-run tools and generators add more.
Health Effects
Car parking areas add to air pollution through vehicle exhaust, plus dust and grit blown off unpaved ground. This harms the health and well-being of people living nearby.
Air pollution build-up on every floor
Air pollution spreads to nearby localities
Absence of natural air circulation
Air quality Solutions
Prana Air's air monitoring and air purifying tools back up green spaces, better airflow, eco-friendly materials and greener transport choices. Used together, these can cut air pollution in cities. They also lift public health and support a greener way of life.
Easy Data Accessibility
Easy access to accurate air quality data for car parks helps those in charge make better choices. That can limit their impact on public health and on nature. It also backs greener city growth.
Air monitors are fitted across the car parking areas
The air quality monitor connects via Wifi/GSM/RS-485
Data is retained in AQI Cloud Storage.
The data may be accessed remotely on the AQI mobile, tablet and web-dashboard apps.

About air quality solutions for car parking spaces. Have questions? We are here to help.
- Poor air quality in a car park can harm the health of drivers, pedestrians and people living nearby. It may also add to pollution in the wider area and feed into climate change.
- Air pollution in car parking areas mainly comes from vehicle exhaust fumes. Dust and particulate matter from tyres and brakes also add to it.
- Taking in poor air inside a car park may cause breathing problems, eye irritation, headaches and other health issues. Long spells in polluted air may also raise the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
- The air quality in a car park can be improved in a few ways. Promote low-emission vehicles and bring in green spaces such as trees and plants. Monitor the air non-stop, install air filtration systems and let in more fresh air.
- Sensor-based monitoring systems, such as the Prana Air monitors, are a common choice for car parking areas. Real-time data analytics and AQI mobile apps then pass air quality information on to users.
- Air quality data from car parking areas can feed studies on how air pollution harms human health and the world around us. It may also guide public policy and the rules that are framed for air quality.
