Major air pollutants in Parking Spaces
Enclosed car parks can release a variety of air pollutants. These cover carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10). All of them are harmful to human health.
PM2.5 & PM10
In poorly ventilated underground car parks, PM levels go up. Particles are not dispersed.
CO
CO can come from car exhaust fumes, from petrol-run tools and from generators used on site.
VOC
Sources range from petrol and diesel exhaust to building materials, cleaning agents and more.
SOx
Fumes from petrol and other vehicle fuels can carry a range of toxins, SOx among them.
NOx
High-temperature combustion, including engine operation and fuel burning, can emit NOx.
VOCs
VOCs from vehicles can react in sunlight and contribute to ground-level ozone.
SOx
Switching over to other fuels can help cut SOx emissions.
NOx
Drivers can reduce NOx emissions by avoiding hard acceleration and maintaining a steady speed.
PM2.5 & PM10
Weak ventilation in underground car parks stops particles from dispersing. PM levels rise as a result.
CO
Exhaust from cars pushes CO levels up, and petrol-run machines and generators do the same.
Health Effects
Car parks contribute to air pollution via car exhaust as well as dust and debris from unpaved surfaces. This has a negative impact on the health and well-being of nearby communities.

Air quality Solutions
Prana Air brings air quality checks and air purifiers to a car park. They back green spaces, better airflow, eco-friendly materials and cleaner transport choices. Such steps can cut city air pollution, lift public health and support a greener future.
Easy Data Accessibility
Easy access to accurate data on car park air quality helps stakeholders make better choices. Those choices can limit the harm done to public health and to nature. They also drive greener growth in our cities.
Air monitors are set up in several zones of the car park
Monitors connect to the network via Wifi/GSM/RS-485
Data is held in AQI Cloud Storage.
Reach the data from anywhere on AQI mobile, tablet and web-dashboard apps.

About air quality solutions for car parks. Have any questions? We're here to help.
- Poor car park air quality can affect the health of drivers, pedestrians and residents living nearby. It can also contribute to wider environmental pollution and to climate change.
- The most common source of car park air pollution is vehicle exhaust fumes. Dust and particulate matter from tyres and brakes are also to blame.
- Poor air quality in car parks can result in respiratory problems, eye irritation, headaches and other health issues. Prolonged exposure may also be linked to a higher risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
- A few simple steps can lift the air quality in a car park. Promote low-emission vehicles and bring in green spaces such as trees and plants. Monitor the air continuously, install air filtration systems and boost the flow of fresh air.
- Sensor-based monitoring systems such as the Prana Air monitors work well inside a car park. Real-time data analytics and the AQI mobile apps then deliver air quality updates to the people who use them.
- Car park air quality data can support studies on how air pollution affects human health and the environment. It can also inform public policy and regulatory decisions related to air quality.
