Application of smart wireless device monitoring emissions of ventilation quality in underground car garage spaces

Abstract

One of the significant goals of the World Health Organization is to decrease the production of dangerous pollutants and compounds that harm life on Earth, specifically by 55 percent by the year 2030. One of these contributions is undoubtedly the transport industry along with a truck, cars, or other on-road driven vehicles. A SMART monitoring system could be a solution able to measure the pollution levels in busy crossroads and garage spaces that can depict over-reaching values of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfuric oxides, or dust accumulation above health-recommended levels. The study aims to evaluate the air quality levels in garage spaces in the district of Žilina. The results have shown a proof-of-concept of a wireless monitoring emission system run solely on batteries providing active feedback within confined underground spaces. The entire garage ventilation fulfilled norm STN 73 6058 with respect to CO and CO2 values, however, PM values exceeded recommended concentrations. Further scientific experimentation and prototyping will validate the concept in practice, making sure the cities of Europe have accurate, just-in-time data to meet the 2030 emission targets.
